'''''Experimentelle 2D- und 3D-Animation. Der PC in der Grafik, Werbung und Design''''' ("Experimental 2-D and 3-D animation—the PC in graphics, advertising, and design") is a book by Fred Wagenknecht about creating simple 2-D and 3-D vector graphics in Locomotive BASIC. Somewhat confusingly, the book title refers to PCs rather than the CPC, but is was meant to refer to home computers in general, not IBM PCs. Wagenknecht points out that while the programs were written for the 464, porting to other BASIC implementations is relatively straightforward.
Somewhat confusingly, the book title refers to the PC rather than the CPC, but apparently this was supposed to mean home computers in general, not IBM-compatible PCs. Wagenknecht points out that while the programs were written for the CPC 464, porting to other BASIC implementations is relatively straightforward. The focus of the book is on short vector-based animations, although of course BASIC is much too slow to render them in real-time. Then again, the target audience of the book are, at least according to the subtitle, graphic designers and artists, who would presumably have the necessary equipment to e.g. print completed frames or store them on video tape or Super 8 film (chapter 6 deals with this).
