- Hand, Beta 1, (c) GreG Tsadilas: 10/22/87 CIS# 73230,567
-
- *** REQUIRES 1 MEG TO RUN. (In my Upload Description I make that CLEAR) ***
-
-
- HAND is a HAM animation created with Impulse's SILVER package.
- This was just a test to see how my HAND was coming along. If you
- notice the opeing title you will see 'BETA 1'. The reason for this
- is that it is by no means a finished animation....neither in content
- nor in quality of look. SILVER is capable of doing MUCH better
- work. As I have stated, this is just a test. I uploaded it in case
- anyone is interested in purchasing SILVER. HAND is a weak animation,
- it merely scratches the surface of SILVER's abilities.
-
- For reference, HAND is composed of 75 objects all of which are
- reflective (about 5% reflectivity). Each finger can be articulated
- as in a human hand. The wrist, elbow, and shoulder can also be
- articulated as in real life.
-
- In the animation The Wrist Rotates, The wrist droops, the elbow
- contracts, and the elbow rotates. All these contortions are done
- simultaneously. Towards the end the index finger extends as well.
-
- If you have any comments, ideas, thoughts, please feel free to send
- me them via EasyPlex [ 73230,567 ]. I have a script working in my mind
- for a short video animation already, but your ideas are welcomed.
-
- * Again, I cannot stress this more, the animation is a quickie,
- I chose to settle for less in order to test this thing.
