I'd take it in an instant probably ;). Singapoor are HUGE when it comes
to 3D stuff, although they are probably 3 years behind in "taste" compared
to Australia. They still love reflective metal logos and stuff. Big
industry tho.

I've never heard of Prism actually.

No idea if it'll be up there I'm afraid. But sinve joining Animagrafx, I've
learned HEAPS about who made what! :) I love knowing too.

Paying job, yes, but big pqaying job, dunno. i sort of accepted it as a bit of
fun plus it looked like the project had potential to REALLY sell. So I
have no idea what sort of $$ I'll be getting.
I've been working on it for nearly 5 months now I think. I also hired two
other people to help out (I knew I couldn't do it all on my own from
the outset). The project is a "multimedia CDRom" with several hundred
megs of unreleased mods from the Amiga and PC demo scenes. Considering
the fanatisism of "mod followers", i think it could do really well.
But yeah, it'll probably end up around 1:30 minutes running at 12.5 fps
CDXL straight from the CDRom. Probably HAM8, but maybe 256 cols. Letterbox
screen (hense I ran into that bug), lots of camera cuts and hopefully
a cool soundtrack :).
Funny thing is that all they were really after was some neat "flying
logo" or something to fill up some CD, but I've ended up doing a full
story with animated soldiers and an animated guitarist ;).
Right now I'm wrestling with light flares.. I wanted the soldiers to have lights
on their shouldiers, but getting them to not dominate the scene is tough.
I'll use them in just a couple of later scens I think, because they do
look cool.

Me too. I never do anything by halves ;).
Row.
