Short: m68030 object with Socket for Imagine Author: Gabriele Niccolini, lele1701e@hotmail.com Uploader: Gabriele Niccolini, lele1701e hotmail com Type: pix/3dobj Version: 3.0 Replaces: pix/3dobj/68030iob.lha Architecture: generic --------------------------------------------------------------- INTRO Hello my fellow Amigans! I didn't thought that I was going to release a new version of this 68030 but I actually did. Thanks to the experience I gained modeling the FPUs, I noticed that they actually looked better that the processor. So I decided to completely rebuild the 68030 and relase this major update. The body has been remade with the golden tick more realistic, even the socket has been completely reworking using the phong function, reducing poligons but gaining in quality and speed. As usual everything has been done on a REAL C=Commodore Amiga 1200/030. No other virtual Amigas has been used in the making of this object. CHANGES IN VERSION 3.0 - Completely new Processor's body - Fixed a bug in the serial side number - Brand new lightweight socket - Brand new lightweight socket's pins CHANGES IN VERSION 2.0 - Added socket object - Added pics of socket and processor socketed THE PACKAGE The package contains: - MC68030.iob The processor object for Imagine - MC68030SKT.iob The socket object for Imagine - 68030iob.readme It's what you're reading now - MC68030_1.jpg Image of the 68030 you just downloaded - MC68030_2.jpg same as above but upside down - MC68030_3.jpg Image of the socket showing processor's pins - MC68030_4.jpg same as above but upside down - MC68030_5.jpg Image of the 68030 plugged on the socket - MC68030_6.jpg same as above in a closer view REQUIREMENTS I suppose I'm Captain Obivious when I say that you need an Amiga or WinUAE with Imagine installed, right? Ok now let's say that you will be very comfortable with 16Megs of Fast RAM if you want to render the processor object. Combining processor and socket, be sure to have at least 20Megs of Fast RAM. Be warned that if you're going to render the pins you will need a very fast processor with math coprocessor. So, as usual, a 030/882 both at 33MHz are the minimum requirements. INSTALLATION Just put the objects in your favourite folders. They got no textures, no brushes and are totally portable COPYRIGHT You're free to use the object for all the images you want. The only thing I ask is to not upload the archive or any part of the files contained in the archive, on other repositories. I want to be sure that this object will be kept ONLY on Aminet because, for me, it's THE ONLY Amiga's repository and main resource. Feel free to contact me anytime. Have a good one, and happy renderings. C=Commodore Amiga rules!
