Cos Russo Shy Boomer Registered: 04/27/04 Posts: 52 Loc: Bowral,Australia	"Nuts. No, I think insane is the right word. Why would you want to do it? A gigantic guitar in the middle of the ocean... it's insane!" These are the words spoken by Kivas from the early days of Alida. When I first conceived the idea of Alida, similar words were going through my head. Alida has been an incredible journey for me, coming up with the original story and creating all the elements for Alida to come to life. I hope GameBoomers will enjoy Alida! Cos Russo Dejavu Worlds

MacHeadCase Shy Boomer Registered: 02/23/03 Posts: 12 Loc: Montr	I was wondering Cos... Which 3D software did you use to render Alida? And how did you "stitch" it together? Did you use Director?

Cos Russo Shy Boomer Registered: 04/27/04 Posts: 52 Loc: Bowral,Australia	I used Strata Studio Pro for all 3D models and SuperCard (Mac) / Revolution (PC) to script the application. I have to mention Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Final Cut Pro, Cleaner, Quicktime - all these magical programs make it all that bit easier.

MacHeadCase Shy Boomer Registered: 02/23/03 Posts: 12 Loc: Montr	Oh! Cool! I love Strata! I can hardly wait to buy my copy! And my guess is SuperCard replaces Apple's HyperCard? Did you enjoy working with FCP? Does it do as good a job as anything out there? Just curious because I learned 3D a few years back ('97): Softimage, Alias\|Wavefront's PowerAnimator, Premiere. The school I went to had just "put out to pasture" Strata Studio Pro but we went into the Mac labs and played around with it anyway!!! sneek HeeHee
