1. Terms Of Distribution
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Permission for the non-commercial distribution of Upgrade by Dr Gandalf
is hereby granted. Non-commercial distribution is defined as distribution
by user groups, individuals, bulletin boards, and not for profit, public
service public domain disk distributors. Distribution is ONLY permitted if
ALL the files that make up the entire animation are distributed together.
Any manufacturer of hardware or software is specifically enjoined from the
public distribution of any part of Upgrade by Dr Gandalf, except
if written arrangements are made with the author (not that I wouldn't be
willing to make such arrangements).
Upgrade by Dr Gandalf is specifically NOT in the public domain.
2. How it was made:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The original images were generated in Interlaced Overscan HAM mode using
a Turbo Silver SV (floating point), a commercial ray-tracing program from
Impulse Software (It was NOT done with Sculpt 3D!!!)
The rendering was done partly with and Amiga 2000 with a Commodore 14MHz
68020/68881, and partly with a GVP 32MHz 68030/68882. The animation took
about one year from start to finish.
There are over 700 images total. The images were generated with Turbo
Silver, touched up with Diamond (also from Impulse). The pictures were
compressed into five separate .ANIM files with either Turbo Silver, MakeAnim
(public domain), or Animation Station (Cryogenic Software). Sounds were
created digitized with Perfect Sound. The title slides were created with
Deluxe Paint III (Electronic Arts). The entire animation is shown using
Deluxe Video III (Electronic Arts).
3. How to view it:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPGRADE requires *5 Megabytes* of memory, and Super Agnes, and 5
megabytes of hard disk space to run!!!
The individual scenes can be played with VIEW, which is on the first
disk of this collection. Press the F5 key once the animation begins
to make it play at the correct speed. The individual scenes take 1 to 1.5
megabytes.
To use UPGRADE:
Make a drawer on your hard disk, and copy all the files from all six
disks into that partition. Then just double-click the Upgrade icon. If the
player generates an error message, it is probably due to fragmented memory.
Re-boot and try again.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope you enjoy Upgrade. If you do, you can pay me back by
coming up with some interesting animation and graphics of your own and
distributing them.
PLEASE, when distributing UPGRADE, be sure to keep it intact, and
include all portions of the animation in the distribution, including the
main animation files, the sound files, the titles, this documentation
and the associated icons.
