The first Alpine production: A 64k-Intro for Wired '97. First of all, we're sorry for releasing such a low-quality-intro. We would have liked to release a better one as our first, but we lacked extremely of time. In fact the essence of an intro, i.e the effects, were just thrown together in a few days. Most of the time was spent on our 3D-Engine and our Music-system. Unfortunately you can't see much of the power hidden in the 3D-Engine ( Just this gouraud-shaded Logo... ) As to the Player: It is a S3M-Player with real panning support ( which was neither used in this intro ) It supports SB/SBPro/SB16-Cards ( AFAIK it was the only intro using the SB16 of the competition-compi ) but unfortunately no GUS ( as you might have noticed, but this will change soon... ;) ■ Effects:▐├─┐ ─────────────┘ Fire-Intro...: Some Sync with player, particle fire, twice blurred. Sky-Generator: Filled Circles, 5 times wind, 5 times blurred. Nothing-Logo.: gouroud-shading... The 3DEngine would have supported Env-Mapping, but it just looked ugly with the Sky-Texture... Tunnel.......: Really nothing special: Cache-optimized, depth-shading... Z-Bobs.......: rendered with POV-Ray ;) , Z-Buffering, 2 Rotations with varying radiuses... Endscroller..: Just that. All in all just old and not very interesting stuff... :( ■ Greetings:▐├─┐ ───────────────┘ Tran: Thanx for PMODE! Jeffrey Lim: Thanx for your help on DMA-Routines ! Zed: Thanx for Zed3D and your eMails! Firelight: Thanx for your DOC! ;) Sanction: Thanx for your hint about textures ( Omniscent will stay the best 4k-Intro for a while ;) Liam the Lemming, Purple Motion : Thanx for your songs ( e.g. Pianography, World of Plastic ) They made debugging a lot less boring ;) Triton, FC, Cubic&Seen, Pulse, Sanction, Funk!: Thanx for your excellent Demos. Its always a pleasure to watch them. Radical Phorce: Thanx for the logo Allergy/Donhave: Hope I spelled it right ;) Thanx for letting me debug this shit on your compi! megathanx to an unknown dude who helped us getting our equipment from the bus-stop to the party-place !!!! ■ Contact us:▐├─┐ ────────────────┘ Wanna inform us about something (un)important / send bug-reports ?
