Consoles where something small kids owned older kids and up had Amiga's C64's or Atari's in the 80's. Teenagers often had an amiga with a MIDI peripheral connected to a Synth and things like that. When 32 bit came like the Sega Megadrive that started to eat into the Amiga somewhat. The A1200 was very popular when launched but hit a brick wall with Commodore going under causing all kinds of problems. The 1200 should have launched instead of the 600 that would have been much better. I'm still bitter at how badly Commodore was run considering how cool their hardware was.

You making those retro game boxes work pretty hard, have a happy holidays

👍

Sark's carrier would be cool, too!

Excellent Q Merry Christmas and have a great New Year

Enter Enter is such a nice and efficient way to keyframe. That and the Enter, type frame #, and Enter method of placing a key on a frame you're not presently on are two of the things I love about LightWave (along with how easy it is to switch between camera and light views). Man, watching you work with this sure brings back great memories. Merry Christmas!

I would just like to compliment you on the new aesthetics; it's a warm welcome to see your face and the mimics that goes with it. It lends more credence and warmth to your channel. Thumbs up to you ♥

Thank you for the bonus! More Lightwave playing around, more! 😁 Have a great day!

Cool!

Worth it to see that gorgeous image. Wow

I miss the ye old mousepointer and WB 2.0 interface

You look very much like Alex Jones

Those sirens are your conscience 🤔what did you do?????

Happy Christmas.

Are you related to Alex Jones? You can't un-see it now!

do you know Alex Jones?

Amiga was the master of professionalism ✌How beautiful the Star Trek model was born on the Amiga. The most beautifully designed spaceship ever made😱 I want a new Commodore with the new AmigaOS4 that invade computers and smartphones, with the lightness and architecture of the operating system that always remains unique compared to other OS👍

This was classic animation demo disc fodder, back in the day. I'd love to pin down a scene that was on PD disc or CD and it was the Millenium falcon for LW Amiga. I'd love to get a benchmark now on my pi1200 of that scene.

Merry Christmas!

This is a "bonus" video of sorts. I tried a different lighting setup for filming and wasn't happy with this one. Too harsh and odd shadows on my face. That earlier video you saw was my preferred choice. I almost did not post this video as it was "me learning" but heck. It's still some neat content for Lightwave3D and Amiga fans, I think!

Alex Jones looking good bros

nice face cam. you definitely held and modified our Christmas this year

Cool as ****.

where do i get the roms? 6:13

Lovely christmas Amiga animation at the beginning. You and all the viewers, have a wonderful christmas and a healthy new year! Thank you very much!

Nice to put a face to those hands Q!

If you would like to see the animation full screen quality, here you go! I even added a little of that "1980s" film look to it. RetroColorGradeTronEscape th-cam.com/video/DN-z7Hayzl0/w-d-xo.html

Thanks Q, nice to see it all rendered out on the PAR and in 16 colours. Taking Amiga files out of the Amiga is strictly prohibited, and will result in your Amiga rejecting those contaminated files if reinserted. 😉😆

Great work! Nice to see this done on a real Amiga. The best I had back in the day was an A500 with a 68020 accelerator and a DCTV box. I made a few VistaPro animations and such. Also used AdPro, haha.

at least try to make the render interesting. good concept but not the best execution.

‼️More effort in this project than the highest budget ad from the highest value companies in 2024. If you know you know.

Underproduced but overachieving in content and instructions, no fluff all killer no filler Amiga Channel. You are the one channel that has me glued to the TV.

would it be possible to use lightwave on an amiga 500 (i think it has a big ram upgrade but i dont remember), i love using niche 90s and early 2000s animation software (i do most of my videos in super old versions of iclone). and i really love the early pixar-esque style that you got out of this.

Nice to see the final compliation. Adobe's IFF format implementation was never great. I seem to remember it harking back to the Alias Wavefront variant of IFF, even back to the SGI days.

Could you share one of those frames that wasn't compatible? Would like to have look at what is going on.

Never had a fancy output card back when I did this. just played RGB out to a scart input on a VHS deck and the amiga 1200 had to be able to play it back in real time from a combined ANIM5 file.

Love this video! Why don't you try lowres Ham6?

Back in my Amiga days I hand-scripted ARexx to control ADPro. I've never used Fred. I also wrote ARexx scripts to do paint operations in OpalPaint. Why did you go with only 16 colours? On my A500 I made anims with 32 colors + Extra HalfBrite.

looking good bud, btw the PAR cue list. - If its set up right, there's no glitch or pause between the clips, its literally how I edited the first Worms intros. :) all the best mate...

Amiga IFF is a lossless compressed format, iirc

directoryopus *sigh*

Very nice! And to think the original guys working on the light cycle/tank sequence plotted the light cycle paths through the canyon numerically on paper without a GUI and hoped for the best.

wow, that was a very professionally done video. Merry Christmas Q and have a happy New Year.

Greetings, program!

Have a great Christmas.

Happy holidays. Impressive what the Amiga could/still can do. Looking forward to you recreating the SeaQuest DSV intro!

Ahh the dulcet tones of Q!.......Lets get him before he does it again.

Here to say I really enjoyed this one. And as another commenter said, AREXX was my saviour and allowed me to program my own glue between programs and build my own software chains. I really miss having such an integrated language.

Oooh, somebody bought a light and camera. Looking good!

AREXX was the best thing ever happened with AmigaDOS/WB 2.04. I loved that thing to bits... Connecting Dpaint/OctaMED Soundstudio/ArtStudio/Dopus/ my programming IDE and so on and on to just about anything... adding "addons" (my own creations) to pretty much anything 2.04 compatible was just amazing stuff... Lightwave also had AREXX support (and my dream back then was to create solar system that I could raytrace/render with perfect scale :-) just programmatically. AREXX standalone was also fun and I really loved that they left out the Microsoft Basic shit out... and made AREXX the shipping programming language for the Amiga. The anim was nice, but the A3000 could have done (I think) 320*200 (well for me 320*256 as I live in Europe :-) with some ArtStudio magic 64 colors easily (well Halfbrite mode to be exact, 32 colors with 32 half as brite colors) and could be (with Floyd-Steinberg dithering) pretty nice (with lower res ofc sometimes the colors do more then resolution). But then again, it would be datawise pretty much equal to a HAM6 (maybe do a comparison between HAM6 and Half-brite? do some stills before to see if you can fiddle the best picture out of 6 bitplanes from the source?) Well for displaying it on the Amiga 3000 directly ofc.
