Things have all been rearanged and the Toaster Pics I created are now in /amiga/graphics/images/ilbm. A 24bit viewer/converter is unnecessary because I posted them in 24bit and HAM format. Following is the pics.README file that accompany the images (note: the 24bit images are 768 x 480).... All of these images were created with Lightwave 3D, the rendering and animation software supllied with the Video Toaster. They are all lo-res overscan HAM images and took an average of about 30 minutes to render in 24bit 1536 x 960 resolution except for Blender and Tape which took 6.5 and 4 hours respectively because of shadow generation. The Teapot rendered in a speedy two minutes. Blender: This was my contest entry into AV Video's Amiga design contest. It consists of various forms of media being jammed into an osterizer. Highlights of this image include glass, shadows, a very nice looking model of a compact disc (CD), marble counter top, and a digitized background image (my kitchen). This image is my favorite. City: An industrial city scape. Shows off the use of smoke (for smoke stacks) and depth cued fog. It is a still from an animation I am working on for Siggraph. F15: A camoflaged (sp?) F15 flying over a field of trees. Of special note are the fractal noise clouds and the flame exhaust of the F15. Office: An office scene with various objects illuminated by a translucent hanging lamp and a lit candle. Tape: A reel to reel tape deck and synth keyboard in front of three colored spotlights. Shows multiple colored shadows and various surfaces including metallic lights, brick wall, carpet, and striped wallpaper. Teapot: The classic Newell teapot rendered with a rippling chrome surface.
