þ Introduction:ÞÃÄ¿
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ
  Here it is. 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... ;)

þ Effects:ÞÃÄ¿
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ
  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... :(
