MicroSearch (Houston, TX) is going to be doing the computer animation for Robocop II. I thought you "Amiga Sighting" fanatics would be interested in this. Here is what the system admin of their BBS had to say about it: [reprinted with permission] Msg: #10806 Sec: 0 - * E-Mail * 01-Dec-89 05:59 PM Subj: #10805 - User comment From: Stephen Sinders To: Jim Carson I (stephen sinders) gave a graphic seminar a few months back at the Marriot, and the product co for the movie showed up. They were impressed with what they saw and heard. One thing lead to another and they hired one of our employees (mike ribble) to do the animation for the movie. Not just peeon things but ALL of the animation.They have been so impressed with what we have done that some entire scenes have been redesigned to enhance the animtaion. (another words the monitor used to just happento be in the picture, now the bad guy is face to face with the monitor) We are using an A2500 5mb ram 65mb harddisk, Digi view, sulpt 4d elon performer, deluxe paintIII and many others.
