Simulation of the 1985 BBC 'OWL' ident
« Thread started on: Mar 30th, 2014, 8:48pm »
I made this primarily for TV ident enthusiasts, but since (naturally) it's coded in BBC BASIC some people here may be interested:
It's very closely based on the WORLD.BBC example program supplied with BB4W, but there are five Direct3D lights instead of one (including one for the specular reflection), there's both an 'inward facing' and an 'outward facing' texture map, and the latter has an alpha mask so you can see through the oceans to the other side.

Brilliant, Richard. That deserves a virtual round of applause!

I've updated both the EXE and Screen Saver versions to use a higher quality BBC1 logo, which somebody was kind enough to send me:
