Those are fine-looking pieces, Michael! They would have been great 25 years ago and they are still great today!
I really like that blue hippopota-something. He should get animated and have some new adventures.
v4 was where I came in. Ouch. After you made a model, you had to cut it into separate "segments" and then piece it back together in the Bone module to rig it.
I'm jealous of you guys having A:M in high school. When I was in high school I sort of knew what computer graphics might become because I had seen imitations of it in movies like "2001" but there were no home computers back then.
In high school we had occasional access to a computer via a terminal that connected by a 10 baud modem to a "time-shared" computer that existed in some other city. We wrote little math programs in BASIC and stored them on paper tape.
Each school got billed for the minutes of computer time it used. I recall there was a minor scandal when one kid wrote a program that ate up seven hours of computer time.
Ten years later, the whole home computer scene had arrived. I had my AMIGA computer and I'd wait seven hours for one frame of a 3D ray-traced animation to render.
