Posts: 471 		I have the same excitement for Muvizu. I've animated a lot of things over the years using a lot of other animation packages both high and low end but none of them have had an impact on me as much as Muvizu.

In the short time that I have been using Muvizu the Devs have added some major features to the software and they continue to keep adding "goodies" with each release. They listen carefully to their users "wants and needs" and seem to try very hard to accommodate us users the best they can.

I've only produced a few animations with Muvizu so far but I have quite a few projects "on the drawing board". I have so many ideas for animations floating around in my head it's difficult to figure out which one to start first. It sure is a fun process though.

There are many really nice and talented people here that I'm sure would be glad to help you out with Muvizu if you ever need it, all you have to do is ask. A "feature rich", real time 3d animation package, excellent technical support, a great forum and website and the fact that it's all totally free makes Muvizu one great product.

Welcome aboard!!!

I first tried to do computer animation on my brother's ZX Spectrum 48k. In 1981. Seriously. You could rewrite text blocks (8x8 pixel grid) and change each text block in a sequence to fake something moving. Painful, painful process. Took a week of trial and error to get a walk cycle for the bottom half of a single character (the top half just a pixel grid pretending to be a picture) and then I gave up. And then I, too, discovered the joys of the Atari ST. Great machine - my first renders, fractals, music sequencers, and then I got distracted and spent most of my time playing Midwinter. Fun though!

HA! Exactly right, we had the will but zero equipment to do it (would still love to have seen your video though! ) Awesome indeed!

Posts: 471 		I'm not sure if anyone remembers but a long long time ago (late 70's I think) there was a computer that was sold in the US called the Timex Sinclair 1000. They dubbed it as the only computer sold for under $100. It had like 5k of ram and hooked up to the old black and white TV's. It was a little larger than a paperback book. That was my first experience using a computer.

My first so called "real" computer was an Atari 400 with 16k of ram and a cassette tape machine to save my data on. It cost me like $400 just for the computer and the tape machine, a huge amount of money back then. I spent another $100 for a pop in cartridge that has Atari Basic on it. I spent the next few years learning how to program in Basic. Back then you could do some really cool stuff graphics wise on an Atari computer if you spent a lot of time trying to do it.

In 1990 I finally got an IBM clone computer. It was a 286 running at 16mz, had 1 meg of ram and had a 30 meg hard drive with a color monitor. There was a program that had just came out called Autodesk Animator that I also bought. A Dos based 2d animation program in 8 bits. At the time it was the best animation program available.

Those were the days...

Ah they were indeed - I had one of those. I remember learning basic, then 6502 assembler on it. The things you could do with "display list interrupts" were amazing. Fantastic machine for the time. Hard to believe it's over 30 years old now. Gulp!

Thread Hijack!


My first PC had a hard drive so small that every day I had to decide between installing the word processor for uni work, or the game I was playing (Microprose F1GP).

Incidentally, I watched this on BBC's iPlayer the other day: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00n5b92

It's available to Brits (sorry, Mysto) for the next couple of days or so. It's worth it just to see that bloke who helped ruin the Hitchhiker's Guide movie and some comedian as Clive Sinclair (complete with plastic forehead), girly slapping each other around in a pub.

Posts: 399 		I'm surrounded by former Sinclair (Timex) and Atari users who love animation! My very first computer was a Timex/Sinclair 1000 (ZX-81). Next came Atari, then various flavors of PC's. Couple all this with the fact that I a descendent from a Scottish clan (Collins)...

Somehow, I feel right at home, here. Toast

I remember going into WH Smiths and seeing the ZX81, oh my god I thought!
The man showed me how to program
10 PRINT " Hello! "
20 GOTO 10
He stud back, his one eyebrow raised gently, and told me in a secret voice..........
" Type, RUN "
Oh my god, when I saw the word HELLO! Fall single file down the screen I sprinted out of that shop before the man could even show me his grand show
Stopper 3D Monster Maze.

When I got home I told my brother about this machine that you could program
And we spent all night talking about how we could take over the world with this 1k
memory beast!

I did'nt get the ZX81 with it's painful keyboard, but, santa is a kind man.
One christmas day, a little boy opened his presents to find large box
With the words ( VIC-20 ) on it. With total POWER OF 3 1/2 k memory!!!!

The boy looked to the heavens and said......
" By the Power of Commodor, I HAVE THE POWER!!!!! "


Ps can you remember Pressing the C64 commodor key?

I have to say, I do quite fancy a Tech-Sketch Light Pen.
