Hi Folks,

Back in the late 80's, I started investigating 3D pespective animations, but a 4Mhz QL really was too slow for comfort.

With Covid restrictions, and a much faster QPC2 system, I am looking again at the whole question.

So I dug out a forum text tumbler and rewrote it, so now it runs ok on my SGC, and should be ok on Qemulator too ?

Unzip, Load and LET line 230 PC=0 if you are not using an emulator. RUN and hit 'n' for a new run, or 's' to stop.

Meanwhile, I am revamping the whole 3D_perspective 'motor' interface, as I have started animating articulated objects in scenery.

The main problem is the vast number of DATA s for object x,z,z that need to be entered, using a great deal of memory, ( compatible with 128ko ? ).

More news as things develop....

Steve.

Hi Per,

Thanks for your kind remarks : I have a lot of progress to make to produce a user-friendly perspective animation interface !

Now here is a 'banner' made by using an old DIY-font enlarger program, which I seldom ever used !

Not exactly 3D perspective though...

Steve.
