INTRO

This is my third object made with Imagine and it's a full grown Motorola
68040 @ 40MHz. The object is quite big but it features all the details that
the real processor sports. I'm trying to see if the Amiga's Imagine
community is still alive and, judjing from the download of my previous
objects it actually is, and I couldn't be any prouder! Amiga is STILL a
machine that can make quite nice things and this is why this object, as my
previous ones, has been made and rendered on a REAL Amiga 1200/030.
Now I decided to add, as I did with the 030, the processor's socket. Due to
the fact that 68040's number of pins is higher that 030's, I tried to
optimize the design by reducing poligons on pins and using the Phong
attribute. the result is quite good and doesn't require much more memory.
Even rendering times are acceptable.

CHANGES IN VERSION 2.0

- Added Socket object
- Added more pictures of the socket and of the processor socketed

THE PACKAGE

The package contains:

- MC68040.iob        The processor object for Imagine
- MC68040SKT.iob     The socket object for Imagine
- 68040iob.readme    It's what you're reading now
- MC68040_01.jpg     Image of the 68040 you just downloaded
- MC68040_02.jpg     same as above
- MC68040_03.jpg     same as above
- MC68040_04.jpg     same as above but it shows the pins
- MC68040_05.jpg     Image of the socket
- MC68040_06.jpg     same as above but it shows the pins
- MC68040_07.jpg     Image of the 68040 on top of the socket
- MC68040_08.jpg     same as above

REQUIREMENTS

If you decide to render both the 68040 and its socket, be sure to have at
least 24Megs of Fast RAM. Even if I optimized the socket's design resulting
in a smaller object compared to 030's one, it is still huge in Amiga terms.
So probably you would need at least a fast 68030 with math coprocessor not
slower than 33MHz. Anyway, overnight renders exist for a reason..

INSTALLATION

No textures or brushes has been used so you just need to put the objects in
your favourite directory and load it in Imagine starting the fun.

COPYRIGHT

You're free to use the object for all the images you want.
The only thing I ask is to not upload the archive or any part of the files
contained in the archive, on other repositories.
I want to be sure that this object will be kept ONLY on Aminet because, for
me, it's THE ONLY Amiga's repository and main resource.
Feel free to contact me anytime.

Have a good one, and happy renderings.
C=Commodore Amiga rules!
