Shannon) Organization: Academic Computing Center, University of Va. Lines: 12 I've heard vague accounts of the Amiga's prowess in animation. Can anyone tell me of either 1. their experiences, or 2. what I should read? My work is in pscyhophyics. Here's a typical application: create and video tape a spinning sphere, with randomly distributed patterns on its surface. I've done some work on a Pixar, but I don't know anything about the various Amigas, and (at this point) I have a pretty spotty knowledge of animation techniques. I'll appreciate any advice.
