i love the juxtaposition of the D-Paint 3 video and this one. Just a guy sitting at his desk (probably a dev, right?) then they went full corpo mode with this guy in a suit. However both are quality guides, thanks for archiving them!!
I used to make animations that literally made people think I was some kind of computer savant. Used VistaPro to render landscape scenes along a path I'd set, then using deluxe paint I'd draw a ship or a person (think superman) like they were flying through the scene. I'd paint missiles and turrets and the like against the landscape, and by the end had a few 15 second animations (at about 5 fps) that basically got me good grades (that I probably didn't deserve) until I left high school. I did actually become a multi-media developer with no higher education (remember macromedia lingo and actionscript!), which ended up putting me on an incredible life path to where I am today, so thanks DeluxePaint (and possibly a bit of thanks to C64 BASIC, SEUCK, and Amiga AMOS) for putting me on that path.
@@Vebinz Each frame I would just do it by memory of the last frame, then just adjust it if it my added bits were way out of place when I played it back.
@@Vebinz I thought it was the other way around, but you might be right, it might of been vista pro where I composed it. It was 30 years ago so it is hard to remember what exact steps I took!
True. This was the best graphics program ever. Loved it. And I was able to do some neat things with it (as opposed to, say, Photoshop). Thanks for uploading this video!
Biz halı deseni çiziyorduk bu programla. pc versiyonunu yıllarca kullandım.Ama malesef programı geliştirmeyi bıraktılar.Çok güzel bir çizim programıydı, hala onun gibi yok...
Yes you're right. I suppose today's programs are more geared for photo editing than drawing. (PS, ignore any previous weird reply you may have gotten).
This was the best and simplest program for drawing ever. Try to DRAW something with a program linke photoshop or GIMP. You are stuck with sellecting things and this and that and when you think you can draw now the icon you clicked wasn't for drawing it was for doing something i don't know.
Today I tried to use Deluxe Paint again, after I used it in 1995 for the last time. Only, this time I emulated it on my PC with WinUAE, instead of using it on an Amiga 500. It was so much faster and more responsive that it was like another program altogether. Before this experience, I used to give the benefit of the doubt to those who say programs should be used on their native platforms and not emulated. Now I have a definitive opinion: emulation is so much better than native hardware that those who say otherwise don't have a clue and should just shut up to avoid looking like idiots.
You're right about ease and speed. bu I think those who prefer real hard ware do so just to re-capture the real experience as they used it back in the day.
Vebinz I don't want to "re-capture the real experience", because the "real experience" was just being too creative for what the hardware I had allowed me to do. "Oh man, so slow..." "WTF? Out of memory?" "Gaah! The animation is too big for the floppy!" I'd rather be able to actually use the program.
DevilMaster Heresy! :) No wonder, DPaint on the A500? That's self-torment. A2000 with a decent accelerator card at minimum. And no,..Emulation is in many cases not better than real hardware (this coming from an emulation dev). You can see that in a lot of Amiga demo videos on youtube. Lots of inconsistencies, glitches and errors in Amiga emulation to this day...
DevilMaster +Vebinz OMG! This takes me back, thanks for the videos vebinz. Dmaster, yeah, I know what you mean. Theres a lot of emulation-snobbery. You need money, time, and tons of room to run the original hardware of games and computers. I love the idea of everything being backwards-compatable with PC at some point. The thing is some emulators are literally PERFECT now. Or they have so many options you can change what you want with a bit of reading or video tutorials. A lot of emulators do chip/ciruit emulation and are literally bit-for-bit perfect now. Ive been using a lot of programs by thecompany.pl/. Just exe files, but they load up WIn-UAE without all the bloat, and really fast! I tried Amiga Forever 2014. I find it really slow though, and I get a lot of crashes. Dont really understand it, must be their interface. What I find amazing going back to D-Paint, is the resolution options. Im sure it has like 1650x900. Did people have monitors like that back then? I can only imagine the speed it ran at! lol
Can't believe how powerful this tool was.
It is still

Fascinating! How did you super-impose the latter on the former?

So the ship's animation was done in DPaint, then each imported one by one into VistaPro?

Really informative and helpful video. Thanks!
Thank you.
I still use ut for simple bitmap pictures and gif animations.

Yes, that "Company" exe website is awesome. Thanks for reminding me of it, I need to check it out since last time (several years ago).
