Floppy Disk Imagine Object
Created by Eric Crampton
This is your basic floppy disk object. Pretty simple, I made it in Deluxe
Paint IV and used Pixel-3D v2.0 to convert the IFF brush to Imagine format.
Also, in the conversion, I used an extrusion value of 15. I almost erased a
REAL floppy disk when making is, because I inadvertently placed the disk on
the screen of my 1084, I quickly checked it after doing this, making sure I
didn't erase anything!!! :)
I think the object is probably bigger than it should be, maybe it has
redundant points, I'm not sure. But since I'm running on a 7 MHz Amiga, I'm
not about to use Imagine's 'Merge' function, that can take hours...If
anyone else cares to, let me know the results! At any rate, the object is
15,036 bytes uncompressed.
In closing, support shareware and public domain authors, they deserve the
hard work they've put into many products; and there shouldn't be such a
think as copy-protection, if someone makes a product, don't copy it, BUY
it. I personally have copied some programs, but only for the purpose of
evaluation. If I believe it's worth the money, I'll buy it (although I
didn't copy Imagine first, I bought it before every trying it). If I think
the product is overpriced, I don't keep my copy, I erase it. I'd be better
for more companies to release 'demo' or 'unsaving' versions of their
products. That is what made me buy Power Windows 2.5c and Pixel-3D 2.0; I
used the demo versions first.
Remember, copying is illegal, but sometimes, to me, it seems like a viable
option. I borrowed a friend's 3D-Professional v1.00. I almost bought that
program. It was truely terrible in my opinion. Aside from the fact that it
could generate Fractal Trees and Fractal Scenery (very nice!) the product
wasn't worth the amount they asked. I simply go to his house and generate
some 3D-Pro fractal trees and use Pixel-3D 2.0 to convert them to Imagine
format.
Anyone interested in helping me and two other friends complete our
