Here. (http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/9/e/29e78dbd-4d4e-41a5-894a-9f4dc21c87e6/daniel_lehenbauer_avalon_3d_MBR.wmv)
(75 meg and WMV file! :puke:).
About halfway through you see the guy demoing the Boing demo on the nextgen Windows, or something, I couldn't be arsed watching the whole vid to see what it was about really :-).
Credits go to TB for pointing this out.

If you go to this guy's blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/danlehen/) it's called "Halfbrite", and he is quite open about being an Amigan originally. He also links to the Amiga History Guide in one of his earlier articles (http://blogs.msdn.com/danlehen/archive/2004/06/01/146259.aspx) about the Boing Ball demo. (There are pictures of the demo on both these pages for people who don't want to download the whole video).

Well, it's only took them 20 years to catch up to a 7Mhz 16bit computer with 256KB of RAM! :-D

Greetings Odin,
RJ Mical's Boing demo are 2 layers of animation or view ports. Camera in fixed position while the boing spins and all that rotation animation. Which adds up to several lines of code. :-) If I have a PC i'd get an Avalon3d. I have an Amiga, I have Deluxe Paint. :-P
If you look closely halfway to the video I also see he's got an original A1000 poster behind him. :-)
Regards,
