560.0. "Disney Style Animation? (not quite)" by HOUSE::FRACTAL () Mon Jun 22 1987 03:43

    I sent away for the demo disk in Amiga World for the "Disney Animation
    Package" I wasn't sure quite what to expect. It turns out that this
    package is an "organic" animation package. This means that you can
    construct smooth objects like animals , faces , etc. It shades using
    a copyrighted technique called "Hashnique." It says it's a cross
    between Gourad and vertex shading. Anyways, the demo is pretty nice.
    this package supports independant and attached motion. The whole
    package is 295$ and you need 1.5 megs. There is only one problem.
    In the shading program, the author forgot to account for the "border
    pixel color blend" of HAM mode. The result is a static effect on
    the surface of objects. If somebody can find this demo a home, I
    would be glad to upload it. Anybody?

    If you mean can someone store the file online for general retrieval
    by everyone else, send me mail. I've got some room to stick it.
