following hardware:

* AMIGA 1200 ,  6Mb , 1.6Gb HD , 030/50Mhz
* AMIGA 1200 ,  6Mb , 520Mb HD , 020/28Mhz
* AMIGA 3000 , 10Mb , 250Mb HD , 030/25Mhz

And a couple of PC machines (for the rendering) equipped with

Also a big thanks to these persons (in no special order)...

* All the ones who have created the 3D objects. We have actually
  borrowed some from the AmiNet... 

* Datorteket in Orebro, for letting us use their computers at
  weekends.

* Joacim Karmfalk, for leeching the 3D objects for us.

@node Reqs "Requirements"

                     WHAT DOES IT NEED TO RUN?
                     =========================

This demonstrations requires the following equipment:

One AMIGA ( Ohh, really :) ) equipped with the AGA chipset and a
68020 CPU or better. A harddrive or similar device are also required.
If you only have 2mb chip and no fastram, there may occur memory
problems, but then try to boot without startup-sequence..
Also plain A1200 owners may have some small timing problems. I am
sorry for this..

@node Comms "Final Comments"

A word from the coder...
-------------------------

After many hours of modelling/rendering and coding, it has finally 
been completed. After several headaches, several cans of Coke &
sleepless nights... It's here..

It feels quite good..

We really would have liked doing this little demonstration in a
better resolution (the current one is based on 4x3 pixelblocks).
But, as the organisers of the Icing '96 party decided that the
demo had to work on 2mb chip only, this was not an option..

Pst! This whole demo contains 736(!) anim frames.. If we should
have used fullscreen you should have needed about 35MEG (!!!!)
hd space (lame 5mb limitations, eh? :) .
