Hadricus : I made a true (small) Ray Tracer, shooting rays for reflections or shadows.
Each sphere has a material assigned. I used 3 material, like the 1986 original Juggler :
Dull, with lighting,
Shiny, with a one step Specular added (not a modern specular, I prefered the original binary one !)
Mirror, which, basically, just reshoot a new ray in the scene.
The Ray tracer is completly optimized for Juggler : just one light source, just spheres, linear sky… That’s why it’s so fast !
The shader is working incredibly well with Cycles, with matching point of view, Depth of Field, reflects, etc.
Very cool!!! Got to admit, it was the title of this thread that 1st caught my attention. I know the juggler and I still have an Amiga 1000! Actually the Amiga 1000 was my first exposure to 3d in a program called VideoScape 3D.
Anyhow, I really liked your video and how you integrated the juggler inside a cube into real world footage. That was brilliant!!
That is just awesome. I giggled out loud And oh yeah, I’m old enough to remember.
Still have my 4000/EC030 at my parents house, not sure if it will start anymore.
No, will never sell it - too many fond memories
