We are required to do a graphics project. Here is my problem. I having trouble coming up with one. So I am asking the AMIGA world for some ideas. Help!!!!! We are not restricted to any particular machine (So I can use my Amy) or any areas of computer graphics. But I have only 2 months to do this project. Thus the project cannot be too large or time consuming. Two ideas that I have thought of are a graphics editor or something involving photorealistic rendering (ie. raytracing or 3-D modelling). The graphics editor would be created for one of the PD raytracers or maybe for X-Specs glasses and software. Could anyone give info on X-Specs? Is it easy to use? Is there a developer kit? How about project involving GUI (Graphics User Interface)? Any area of computer graphics where a innovative project could done and maybe promote the almighty AMIGA? How conversion of bitmap graphics to structure graphics? Or creating a new IFF format for structured graphics and PostScript? Are these ideas feasible for my project? Any suggestions and comments on ideas would be appreciated. I would like expression my thanks for any help. I post here because the AMIGA community tends to be innovative and creative bunch of people. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Darren (The GILCHRID) Gilchrist University of Saskatchewan gilchrid@dvinci.USask.CA Saskatoon, Sask.
