TITLE: Robot Dream NAME: Kevin Lynn COUNTRY: USA EMAIL: kjlynn@netscape.net TOPIC: Robot COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. RENDERER USED: Sculpt 3D, Aladdin 4D, Pov-ray TOOLS USED: Sculpt 3D & Aladdin 4D (old Amiga tools, run under UAE), MainActor, custom software CREATION TIME: about a week HARDWARE USED: Dual Celeron 333 VIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS: Audio, if you have it ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: The robot pops in his favorite music CD and dances in front of the mirror, dreaming of being in the spotlight. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: I used to do 3D modeling and animation on my venerable old Amiga, but it finally died about a year ago. RIP. So I used Sculpt 3D and Aladdin 4D running under the UAE Amiga emulator to do the object modeling. I then converted the geometry to Pov-ray files using custom software utilities. Some of the shots were rendered by Pov-ray, some by Aladdin 4D. There are 5 shots in the animation. I rendered each separately, then put them together using MainActor.
