         Announcing World Construction Set V2 for the Amiga

  Questar Productions is pleased to announce continued development for
the Amiga line of computers with the prerelease of WCS V2.

  WCS V2 is full of professional features suitable for use by
animators, geologists, foresters, cartographers, architects,
engineers, game developers, teachers, students and anyone with an
interest in earth sciences and art. It has powerful tools for those
who need them, but with its new wizard technology even a novice can
get great looking pictures fast.

  WCS V2 prerelease is shipping now. In appreciation of the support
Questar has received from the Amiga community, the price for Amiga
WCS V2 is considerably less than the price for WCS V2 on other
platforms.

  Amiga users who order WCS V2 prerelease will receive a FREE upgrade
to the final version, complete with new manuals.

  Meanwhile World Construction Set V1 is still available -- but only
for the Amiga. WCS V1 received rave reviews while breaking new ground
in powerful terrain creation and animation. It's a great way to start
using WCS if you're on a budget, and it's upgradable to WCS V2 should
you need the additional power in the future.

  We think WCS V2 is the best terrain animation program available on
any platform. WCS V2 includes these advanced features:

-	Spline based keyframe animation with over 100 animatable parameters,
including motion, color and ecosystem parameters. Create landscapes that change
over the course of a few minutes, a day, a week, a hundred years, or even
millions of years within a single animation.

-	Interactive editing and display of parameters with a graphic interface that
shows the camera view, an overhead view and a spline-based timeline editor.

-	MUI-based interface takes advantage of large screen displays with resizable
windows you can arrange the way _you_ want. We have found MUI to be fast and
stable, and it has helped us concentrate on giving you great terrain animation
features while presenting a very powerful interface.

-	Highly detailed rock textures complete with stratification and folding.

-	3D evolving clouds.

-	Waves, breakers and reflections on the water.

-	Automatic beaches with support for tides.

-	3D-shaded scaled image textures for very realistic trees and plants even
close-up. A variety of foliage is included and you can even create your own
custom trees.

-	The ability to render any number of DEM files in a single project -- even
the entire earth!

-	A coordinate system that knows the earth is not flat and always takes the
curvature of the earth into account. Mountains appear realistically from over
the horizon as you move. Orbits are automatic.

-	LightWave 3D scene and object export for combining LW objects with WCS
landscapes.

-	WCS V2 even gives you the sun and moon!

  Questar first developed WCS on the Amiga, we like the Amiga, and we
are continuing our Amiga support with WCS V2. We also support other
Amiga developers by using Amiga software for business, graphics,
manual production and video editing. We are proud of the advances
made with WCS V2 and we think it will make a great addition to your
graphics software toolkit.

  We ask for your continued support of World Construction Set on the
Amiga. WCS V2 Prerelease is now available through dealers and distributors.
