Wow... I haven't looked at these in nearly 18 years... :o Today's a special filler as I dug through my CD collection and found the first two CD-Rs I ever burned which contain a set of 3D animations I made for a high school technology class project! I was working with 100 MHz computers using extremely primitive software meant for consumers as opposed to professionals, so you couldn't really do a whole lot with this stuff. There was no texture mapping, only one material per mesh, and of course, no decent video codecs to render the videos to, which is why such a tiny amount of 320x200 video renders took up TWO CDs, because I wanted the quality maxed out as high as possible, so I literally rendered them WITHOUT compression directly to the CDs since not even the hard drives were big enough to temporarily hold the data! In any case, this is the first time anyone outside of that high school is seeing these so please excuse the obviously low quality. I just wanted to showcase where I got my start with 3D and despite the low quality there's a definite retro charm to these old animations! :) ------------------------------------------ Additional Information and Corrections: * It's amazing how much more difficult it is to go from progressive footage to interlaced than vice versa. :o * I later found out that the software I was originally using was called Corel Motion 3D. Ray Dream 3D (might've just been Dream 3D) was what followed and was a bit more advanced with texturing and everything, as that was the software I used in my next technology class the following year. * If you go looking for screenshots of the software I was using you'll probably only find later versions. I'm not sure how advanced Motion 3D got, but Dream 3D was actually licensed and rebranded from some other software developer and I think eventually replaced Motion 3D entirely in the Corel software suite. * If anyone wants to take a crack at remaking these, feel free! Just remember to credit me for having made the originals! :) ------------------------------------------ Pixelmusement Website: http://www.pixelships.com ADG on Pixelmusement: http://www.pixelships.com/adg Alphabetical Index of ADG Episodes: http://www.pixelships.com/adg/index2.html
