Description
Another one from the vault - going back 8 years or so
There's only a small Imagine related part to the this image, but it's there so I thought I'd upload it anyway
The image was mostly painted by hand using Deluxe Paint (remember that?) with reference from a photo I took one particularly wet and breezy evening fishing at a local lake.
The "Imagine Bit" is the fishing rods; I was really struggling to get them to look right painting by hand, so i modelled them up in Imagine, loaded the background image into the viewport and adjust the position and angle to match.
Rendered with an alpha channel (by making the opjects bright white and rendering a second image) and brought together with the main image in Photogenics.

Belle composition. Avez-vous mangdu poisson ce jour-l? ;-) Deluxe Paint a changma vie en me faisant douvrir ces petits res, parfois dociles, parfois rebelles, que l'on appelle Pixels.

My french is none to good; but I can get a bit of what you say :) Sadly the fish did not not enjoy the terrible weather also, so we went hungry that day! If I never saw Deluxe Paint on a friends Amiga 500 all thos years ago, I never would have given computer art a second thought - It was an amazing bit of software in its time and hooked (excuse the pun) me instantlyt God bless Pixels!

Oddly enuff DPaint was my first computr art tool as well,...did a god number of very cool amigs anims,logos flying with the transformations ertc.and a coupla dinotoons the didn't suck too bad,...then I found Imagine and soon enuff the pc...sigh...miss my miggy as DPaint was just about the best paint program I ever tried.Very good compositing in a very crude environment, very inovative re: the alpha channel trick by the way.

I liked being able to make animations with deluxe paint and the 3d brushes etc.

Lovely image - ah, Deluxe Paint !!! Combined with Imagine, I could do anything back then! I'm still hoping someone reintroduces it for the pc!

I never had an Amiga, but I seem to recall there being a PC version as trialware several years ago. DOS based. Maybe not the same, but this on is still the only tool I know of that has 2-8 way symmetrical brush strokes and gradient lines. (Photoshop might do something like that though.) Anyway. . . Great picture! :)

A neat piece of work. BTW, if you really are jonesing for Dpaint, and you are Windoze based now, I have good news. There is a German made program for Windoze called Pro Motion from Cosmigo. I have it and it is, for all practical purposes, DPaint IV. Meaning, it works in 8bit color only. But so what! There are Stencils, Animbrushes, and more. The menus are just like Dpaint! I do not know the web address, but a search for Cosmigo will turn it up I think.

Also, there is Personal Paint which comes free with Amiga Forever (http://www.amigaforever.com) which runs very nicely (faster than on my real Amiga). It's the perfect tool for drawing small icons and stuff.
