Amiga A500+ Animations using Imagine V3. Duncan Styles 2020-01-18 | Here is a small collection of animations I made in the mid to late 90s using an Amiga A500+ while I had a go at learning to use Imagine v3. Imagine was given away free by CU Amiga on a coverdisc. The Amiga had a hard drive and was mildly accelerated with an 020 68000 CPU. Here the animations are running on a copy of my old Workbench system running on emulation through WinUAE.I seem to remember that I was learning basic animation and getting objects and the camera to follow paths. All very basic and simple but with render times in the minutes per frame I think I was quite pleased at the time. :)
