amiga is the best

Interesting. And BTW, I used to sell Amigas.

This is real clever use of sprites, palette-cycling, and polygon morphing. I take my hat off for the programmers. But the question is:

► Was all of this generated in realtime?

The polygon stuff, yeah. It's just permuting the parameters of two equations and plotting them on top of each other. 

And the rotating array of spheres was kinda cool, but far less so if you take away the tilted split-checkerboard background...

...It's just a static prop to give the illusion of the array bouncing off the planes..

The only "holy SHIT!" demo was the raytraced bathroom. No WAY was that rendered in realtime, not in the 80's on a desktop system—even in low-rez and even on an Amiga.

If it wasn't realtime, then it's nice that an introverted nerd boy can program other people's apps to do construct a toilet. But even a 'tard can throw up a slideshow of prerendered frames...

...and any old 286 could generate the CGI for Star Wars one frame at a time if you put in a 16M EMS board then let it sit and think long enough.

If it WAS realtime, then I'll take my hat off for the programmer — AND my clothes.

@diverhose thank GOD we did not have that guy anywhere NEAR the Amiga.. else it would of been a disaster. Anyone who opened to to hack it would have their Amiga bricked remotely and all Amiga software would only be available from one place, the Amiga store.. and you'd only be allowed to install the software THEY let you install. As it is I have my A500 here and I can put what i want on it and do what i want with it.

Thanks for sharing! Love the Amiga ! Still have my A4000 040/25 MHz w/ Emplant Pro board/ Retina Z3 /4 MB Video Card. Reading Steve Jobs autobio book - too bad we did not have someone like Steve pushing the Ami because internally it was a way better machine than the original Macintosh.
