You mean this one: [ Show youtube player ] ?

I remember it (prob... one of the cover disks)

Used it as backgrounds for a few Imagine Renders

Heh! I wrote a tutorial for doing just that waaaay back in AmigaPro magazine - used to love tinkering with Vista (the render times were rough though - even on an '060).

Yeah. Not sure what year that would have been in.
I also remember when NASA released the Mars elevation data.
Playing around was fun but using real world data made it more interesting and cool.

I wonder how Vista performed on PiStorm.

Tried to launch it yesterday and unfortunately it didn't work, but I didn't perform any further investigations honestly... plus, IIRC it was an old pirated version, not sure whether it's the latest or not.

I think I will end up installing the CU CD Coverdisk version and see if it makes any difference.

Still remember the dissapointment regarding render times on 060. Not sure what I was expecting tbh

I had Vista Pro for my standard A500 and then A1200. I spent days and days in total on it.

I would let it run all day rendering videos when I was at school, sometimes even longer, that I then recorded those and DPaint animations to VHS, it was great fun.

I remember trying to do the same, but my poor A500 didn't have nearly enough oomph for my 16-year self to realise his overambitious movie dreams I guess that was one of the experiences that made me understand the limitations of the then-seemingly unbelievable hardware better!
