oh you're right that link is working(ish) but it is just a hiss at the moment. Same problem with the video stream (video works but no audio).

edit:
Just got audio back with video :)

edit edit:
Hmm pretty bad feedback on the audio all the sudden :S In fact now it is just a loud humming noise :P

OK, I now have video with no sound (from http://streams.intuitionbase.com:8000/;stream.nsv), and the audio-only stream is just a low hiss, interrupted by cell phone static (dat-dat-dat, dat-dat-dat, datttttt...)

[edit] OK, now I have sound in the video stream

Yeah getting a poorly placed live mic that is way to
far from the speaker - now it's really humming. I'm
sure they are doing their best, but the stream is a
little "mickeymouse" right now.

Getting video via VLC now - audio just a loud buzz,
however

Yes, I had to turn down the subwoofer because it was giving me a headache

It's good that the glitches all happen now before anyone has anything significant to say. I do kinda feel sorry for Tekmage, who's probably not having enough time to enjoy his dinner...

[edit] ... and we lost video again.

I feel sorry for him as well;
I was in charge of recording a presentation once when i was a summer student and I know just how frustrating it can be to get things working properly :)

Ok, the video stream is working properly now, and I just heard the Hyperion announcement.

Amiga OS4 for classics will be available in "two Amiga weeks" (Nov 30).

DiscreetFX announced that they bought up Aladdin4D, and will be improving it. An Amiga OS4 version will be made. Price will be in the $100-150 range.

I expect in a couple of days we'll see a filing on Justia to block it.

Thank you for reporting the announcements. Did Bill also tell anything about the donations presumably spent in the past to make Aladdin open source?

I wonder if the Classic version of OS4 has some new features or bugfixes that the current (in use) OS4 for A1's dont have, if yes is there coming another update....

And I also wonder how the 'updated' Aladdin compares to Lightwave 4 or even newer. I wish I had Lightwave 8 on Amiga......

Cheers

Probably. However, the Judge has already ruled against an injunction, so I'm not sure that it will be granted. In this case, it would actually be in Amiga Inc's best interests not to seek an injunction, as it's increasing the user-base, and hence, the value of OS4.

They estimate that the updated version will be released in 6-7 months. I have no idea how it compares. I've never tried Aladdin4D, but my impression was that it wasn't the greatest 3D modeller/renderer (not as good as Lightwave or Cinema4D). However, IIRC, it was the only modelling/rendering package that had PowerPC support.

This was the only raytracing package that they could feasibly get their hands on and make an updated version in a reasonable amount of time. The return to Amiga of other packages such as Lightwave, Cinema4D, and Animation Master would be great, but it's not going to happen (at least not for the forseeable future). NovaDesign were ready to sell it into open-source, whereas the other programs are commercial products for windows.

I hope that they improve the raytracer, and add Collada support.

Won't it be grand when we can have a virtual "convention" and video and audio works speedily and reliably and we many in the hinterlands can attend, adjust our viewing AND BE SEEN! having paid our attendance fees to assure access to booth sponsor personal interaction.

I can hardly wait.

Small groups like ours can experience the heady effusion of crowds of like-minded people REALTIME (but in separate physical locations).
