HELLO TO AMIGA FORMAT
                           AND THE AMIGA COMMUNITY
                    
      My name is Tony Gascoigne Iam 33 yrs old and have been dabbling 
 
      with the AMIGA for about 10 yrs now gradually building up my 

      system  ready for a TOWER transplant.

      My setup is as follows:
        
                
              AMIGA 1200 BLIZZARD 1230/50MHZ  
                                                       
              32 MEG MEMORY

              SONY 555 8MM VIDEO CAMERA  

              SONY XVC700 VIDEO PROCESSOR  
                                                       
              850 MEG H/DRIVE 3.5.
              
              M/VITEC 1438 MONITOR
        
              QUAD SPEED CD DRIVE        

       Most of my stuff, the 3D work especially has been done using 
         
       CINEMA 4D cd edition,Photogenics,PixPro,PPaint etc, I have  
        
       Lightwave 3.5 but my time has been spent trying to master      
        
       C4D so I stick with it .
        
       As you can see from my pics I am a big fan of SCI-FI and 

       Fantasy/Horror (Cinema Art and literature) and I get most

       of my inspiration from these themes. I tend not to get too
        
       tied to one method of working, there are so many fantastic

       tools for us to use on the AMIGA so mixing and matching is

       what works for me.     

       Before I give a breakdown of my pics I would like to invite 

       any AMIGANS interested in 3D graphics to contact me at the

       address given, even if its just to chat over ideas etc.

                              15 FAIRFIELD DRIVE,
                              MANSFIELD 
                              NOTTINGHAMSHIRE
                              NG18 3EQ                                

        1. The TRITON DROPSHIP is based around the BUG model on the 

        utilities EXPERIENCE CD, which I sliced and diced to get the 
        
        shape right, the overall design of the ship is my own though.
        
        The texture maps were drawn in photogenics by myself, and the
        
        planet maps are off a AF cover CD. all was put together in 

        Cinema 4D.PS: check out the magazine SCI-FI AND FANTASY 

        MODELLING it has regular articles by RON THORNTON on space 

        craft design (CGI) It really is a superb Mag,and a great 
        
        resource for design and inspiration. There are 2 renders on
        
        DISK 1 and 2, one with shadows, one without, cant decide
      
        which I like the most , decide for yourselves.
        
        2. The CITYSCAPE was intended as a test for C4D,s lighting and
        
        lens flares, its a little over the top but what the hell. all 
        
        the objects,Textures (drawn in PPaint) are my own.            
        
        3. The GHOUL is a digitized pic of one of my own models face 
        
        which was tinted and cleaned up in Photogenics,the glowing 

        pupils were airbrushed in later and a velvet curtain rendered
 
        in the foreground in C4D to add a little atmosphere.       
        
        
            I hope you like the look of my pics and find them just a

        a little different, I look forward to hearing from all you 

        fellow AMIGANS and please dont hesitate to contact me for a 

        chat over ideas etc.
                                BYE FOR NOW   GAZZA.
