**** Doctor_A ****
**** by Marvin Landis ****
**** ****
**** starring Amiguy ****
**** ****
**** Copyright 1989 by Marvin Landis ****
Amiguy has returned to the basketball court. Because of the popularity
of BoingThrows, Amiguy has picked up the BoingBall again after taking
some lessons from Julius Erving (Doctor J).
To view this animation you will need the PD program Movie written by Eric
Graham. Just copy the Movie program, the Doctor_A animation and .info file,
and the sound files (.8svx) onto a disk or directory. With an Amiga that
contains a minimum of 1 megabyte of memory, just double-click on the
Doctor_A icon to view the animation with sounds.
This animation can be viewed on a 512K Amiga, but there are several
restrictions: You must not be running Workbench, there will not be
enough memory to play the sounds, and the Amiga will probably crash when
when the animation is finished. However if you would like to just view the
animation, boot with your Workbench disk, and then as soon as the first text
appears on the screen during startup, hit Ctrl-D. This will interrupt the
startup-sequence without loading Workbench. Now insert the disk with all the
Doctor_A files (including Movie) and just type "movie Doctor_A". No sounds
will accompany the animation, but the entire animation can be viewed until
you hit escape, at which time the machine will probably crash.
This animation is a 55 frame animation created with SculptAnimate-4D.
21 of the frames are keyframes, and the tweening ability of SculptAnimate
was used to create the other 34 frames. I now own a Commodore 68020 card,
so with it and SculptAnimate-4D, each frame rendered in approximately 40
minutes. (Compare that to the 10 hours per frame of BoingThrows using the
original Sculpt-3D and an Amiga 1000 with a 68000 processor).
If you own either SculptAnimate-3D or SculptAnimate-4D and at least 2.5 meg
of memory, I will be happy to provide you with all the necessary files
needed to create this animation. This includes the 21 keyframe scenes,
the global scene, the take, and a script file with some macros used for
posing Amiguy. All you need to do is send me 3 disks, preferably ones that
have objects that you've created on them (or any other Public Domain 3D
objects you might have collected), and I will return the disks with the
files mentioned above and some directions and tips on how I created the
animation. The address is:

Please feel free to distribute this animation to all Amiga owners everywhere,
just leave all the files including this one in the distribution. I also
allow the animation to be used in videos, commercials, etc., but I would
appreciate it if you would drop me a note informing me that you have used
it in such a manner. I can be reached at the address listed above or at the
