If this is so, then ^2anyone who puts in the hours learning how to manipulate the editor ^2should be able to produce useable effects. ^4 The Demo starts with a 3-D ball rolling across the screen revealing ^4text as it goes before spinning off the screen with a whoosh. ^5 Next come some tiles spelling[2 AMOS[0 which flip around and then tidy ^5themselves on screen. ^7 You then see an Amiga with monitor, a disk spins around and flies ^7into the disk drive, now you are taken into the screen to see what ^7has been loaded. ^6 You are in space watching a spaceship zoom around a starry sky, ^6to the accompaniment of `The Blue Danube'. The action is smooth and ^6fast considering the amount of mathamatical calculations that are ^6going on. ^4 From space you are taken to a race track where two cars, sponsored ^4by[2 AMOS,[0 are about to have a race. The lights change and away they go ^4into the distance. They eventually come to grief with a resounding ^4clash of metal on metal. ^7 The next scene shows a 3-D telly with an animated face stretching ^7in all directions with creaks from its strained casing. Then^3 POP!^7 it ^7explodes giving birth to little replicas of itself which bounce out ^7of sight. ^1 Finally, before the credits, you are given a quick look at the ^1`control panel' of the object modeller itself. It's non-functioning, ^1so you cann't try it out, but it does let you see what's available. ^6 This Demo tells you that there are 30 new commands to add to your ^6[2AMOS[0 vocabulary, as well as the power of the object modeller. It says ^6that you can add suface detail and the flexible animation it allows ^6will bring more reality to your 3-D work. ^4 No-one will find out just what this extension can do until it is ^4released and you AMOS users out ther get your hands on it! ^1 This demo will be available from the[2 AMOS[0 P.D. Library for you to ^1see for youselves. Contact Sandra Sharkey for availability. ^2 Any views will be welcomed here at[3 T O T A L L Y A M O S[0 when ^2 that happens. ^1::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: \
