And 5 copies of EuroScene-1 CD-ROM as tertiary prizes. So, what are the above? Photogenics : Price UKP65.00 The power of 24-bit image manipulation meets the control of a paint package, giving real-time spray-on way-cool results. Photogenics has recieved heavy coverage in the Amiga press over the last 6 months , but if you've not seen it before, there's a demo version on Aminet: PgxDemo12.lzh biz/demo 357K+Photogenics 1.2 'playable' demo and Amiga Report gave the package coverage in issues 3.04-3.05, also on Aminet. Photogenics requires Kickstart 3.0 or higher, a minimum of 2Mb RAM and a 68020 CPU. Check it out and decide for yourselves, folks ;-> 3D Arena CD-ROM: Price UKP25.00 One disc containing: Objects and datafiles for Lightwave, Real-3D, 3D Studio and Imagine. Example renderfiles and stills. The exclusive Lightwave Collection from 24-Bit Club Scotland, with a UKP10 discount offer on their 3d modelling book. Utilities for PC and Amiga to get the maximum out of the available data. Demo versions of commercial 3D packages. All files have PC compatible filenames, and are ready-to-run. All the data on this CD was sourced from the official UK Activa technical support BBS , and which is a stronghold for UK rendering talent. If you're interested in 3D engines or spooled animation streams and need a library of quality objects, this is the CD for you. EuroScene-1 CD-ROM: Price UKP15.00 The first attempt at a 'definitive' collection of demos, music and graphics from the European demo-scene. All files are archived ready for BBS use, although there's some highlights ready-to-run that normally take much space on a hard drive. The demos themselves are Amiga-only, however, and date from the early years <'88-ish> up to TG94, the release date. Largely sourced from the FUNET ftp site, it's all logically sorted by group and frees up about 90% of your demo collection disks. EuroScene 2 is currently under construction for release later this year. Almathera UK. Contact: thp@cix.compulink.co.uk re the competition.
