    When Amiga was released it was about 10 year ahead of Windows. Multitasking just blew my mind. Windows halted and lagged while formatting a hard drive. While on Amiga formatting a disk and processing stuff in the background while playing with deluxe paint was no problem.

    The dude (Jenshi) made free models and posted them in 1994. Before the Web which was invented a year later. So someone must have used Gopher or BBS to get the files. Crazy to think about how cool that was, at least to me, who remembers those early days of the Internet before the World Wide Web, which we all just call the Internet today.

    Also used Imagine a lot. It was part of our “poor man’s Video Toaster” setup in the computer club. A heavily upgraded A2000 for the time (030/25/68882, 6MiB, SCSI HDD 120MiB), DVE-10p Genlock, two SVHS recorders, manual AV mixer and Scala MM200, DPaint IV, AdPro and Imagine 2.0. I later was allowed to take this whole setup home when we started using DV cameras, PCs and Adobe Premiere. I edited my home videos until 2001 with this.
    I played around with Real3D as well and 3DS Max on the PC but I found that Imaging was most intuitive to me. The workflow appealed to me as it was divided into the separate editors. 6 MiB of RAM weren’t much even by the standards then but it was usually enough to do intro animations and some nice effects.

    my first foray into 3d came with Data Becker Reflections 1.6 and the accompanying animator. It took ages to raytrace an object, but had features that were rarely seen later in much more expensive products (like the "crumple" function to generate a crushed look on surfaces).
    Later I used Caligari (not Truespace, the original Caligari) and with the Supra Turbo my old Amiga 500 could almost animate stuff inside the program in realtime. It was insane, and my mind was completely blown to make concept art in 3d with this tool, and fast!

      I looked at Caligari. But LightRave came out and I finally had Lightwave for cheap. (yes I have a video on my channel about it too ;) )

      @@HoldandModify Cool story, before caligari went bust I contacted them and asked them if they had any copies of the original caligari for Amiga. They did and actually sent it to me. Unfortunately. It could not run on my Amiga 500, but it's still a little cool bit of obscure computer history to have.

    Oh yeah, it's "Mr Q you" .
    I think the international Amiga community still needs a further Kumbayah moment, which could happen if the world economies keep on deteriorating. It's not like we need too much diversity in the Amiga hardware/software space on the product side of things, possibly less with a little more consolidation or standardization, or trying not to look like too many linux distros. Maybe MorphOS or Aros will set the stage for some pan-solution.

    I did fairly advanced stuff in Imagine, mostly in v4 and 5 and it was surprisingly powerful but it looked so dated compared to Lightwave, The stage editior definitely wasnt as good as doing the same thing sin Lightwave, but for a lot of the other stuff, it was more powerful than most ppl think.

    I purchased Imagine.... what a great piece of software in that a to produce 3D VFX on a dekstop was a golden opportunity. But also... what a pile of b@lls in terms us ease of use. It was such a dog to use it made me bite the bullet and get a second hand A3K and Video Toaster with Lightwave and learn that system.

    • @HoldandModify
      @HoldandModify  8 месяцев назад

      Because making thumbnails manually takes a Lot of work. I used to do that. I have around 200 videos. I run out of ideas. So now I use a free online Ai generator to make them. My intro video is still made by me and I was considering making a Made On Amiga version. Have to see. My day job eats up a TON of my time.
