Fantastic. A tribute to the awesome power of the AMIGAAAAHHHH!!! The finest computer that ever was.

[Hiraghm]

Awesome. I'm reminding of just how truly amazing my venerable old Amiga is.

I've got videoscape somewhere around here...

There was no internet back then, so most of those model had to be constructed or enhanced from sources on BBS. Things are sooo much easier and faster nowadays. I see he was using VideoScape which later became LightWave in 1990.

it took years of rendering, i still use amiga

[lordnipple]

wow.

thnskyou for this. I loved the Amiga days. Some of the shots of the attack on the death star are spookily similar to the 1997 re-do of A New Hope...maybe George Lucas was inspired

SWEET MEMORIES. I met Tobias at the "Amiga Messe" in cologne. I was the guy with wide opened mouth when i was watching this video and saying: oooh ( ok 1 of 100.000) :D

I am missing the times.

When you consider the capabilities of home computers back in the early 1990's this video is simply amazing. The models look great.

6 weeks to create it and 4 weeks to render? damnnnn

The 3D animation is great, but kudos also to Bjorn Lynne for the musical backing to this. At 2:55 is the real beginning, and then from 3:26 the magic begins. Honestly this tune has a really nice 'evolving' bassline (4:46+), good orchestration, and some delicious chord sequences (gotta love its use major/minor/sust 2nd/4ths). + a cool change of key to top it off.

Oh and the credits piece is a good contrast too and quite a nice piece in itself.

Tobias can still be proud of this! Way ahead of everyone else those days...

Amazingm I have been looking everywhere for this segment of Amiga animation. In my opinion, this is probably the best Star Trek/SW parody out there. Probably the first too.

Anyways, excellent post.
