And thanks to Andy Finkel for posting it, and of course Eric Graham for creating it. It's great! BTW on closer inspection it is clear that the juggler, the three balls, and relevent shadows and reflections are in fact ray traced (i.e. everything in the scene except maybe the sky and the plain outside of the Juggler's immediate area) with no indication of any "short cuts" (non-ray traced objects). I also did not see any of the artifacts that would have been introduced by the CCC compression technique that I speculated on in my original "Amiga news - long but *juicy*" posting, so it's not clear to me which compression technique he *did* use. Anyone see anything revealing? The prelude says that each frame is expanded within 30 milliseconds from about a 10K byte compressed format (320 by 200 in HAM requires 48K bytes for display). Oh, yeah...the elbows are no longer pinned against the backdrop, either (feature!), as they were in the version demo'd at the FAUG meeting.
