VOR Newsletter 02 Visions of Reality Information Packet November Pack, Nineteen Ninety-Four Uhhh, this is the visions of reality november pack. Were a cool group, so you must worship us! Yeah, thats it! Worship! Worship! Worship! As most of you know, we went through some major clean up in the past few months. This month was our re-building month. Last month, we kicked nearly half the group out. The first day the pack went out, we picked up 8 new members. Unfortunately, only two of those were ansi artists 6 of them were very good vga artists. Therefore, we still have a semi-small ansi section. Our vga section is quite big, but well always take more high- quality vga artists. We also picked up a rip artist, Diabolos, this month. Our pack went out on the fourth this month because we were still catching up from the late start of last month. Last month we released our pack on the 8th because of laziness. This month the delay was planned. With one more short month next month, we should be back on our schedule of releasing on a punctual schedule of the first of the month. In the ansi section, we have named a new head. After an almost mutual agreement, Hollow Point resigned/was demoted from his ansi head pos- ition last month. He still does ansis, but he thought that he had too much work in the real world to handle running an ansi section, and we basically agreed. So we had to decide on a new ansi head. We wanted to get that done before the October pack release, but we were still deciding between two of the candidates. We finally chose Skarecrow. We didnt do this because of unbelievable artistic talent, but because of leadership skills. This month we picked up Zer0 and The Undead Sorcerer. Zer0 is a great logoist and he also is experimenting with pics. TUS has his own unique talent of ansi and hes great at it. Dr. Phobic also joined the group as a talanted drawer. The VGA section is still run by Venom. This month the VGA section picked up Quisling, Irq5, hFaze, Phantazm, Seagull, and NarTTeiK. Quisling is a great artist and his vga in the pack is his very first attempt at using Fractal Design Painter. Irq5 has been using FDP for a little bit longer, but he, too, is relatively new at it. Hes been doing great with it. hFaze has been a d00dle b0y for a while. Hes an excellent hi-res artist and he improves incredibly with each vga he does. Phantazm and Seagull come from the same area of the country, Arizona. They are both pretty good artists and have unique styles of art. NarTTeiK, the d00d with the wierd alias, is a great hi-res artist and he uses gasp Autodesk Animator Pro. If youve got any doubts about him and his program, just look at his work. : Oh yeah we also picked up Night Train. I wouldnt forget you, boy. :P He does low res work, ansi logos, and ascii. Hes a pretty cool d00d, as are most of the V0R M3MB3RS!!@@!@ We started an ASCII section. Weve got two members and two asciis. Night Train and Omicron is our ASCII artists. They r00l, but weve only got two asciis by them. : Dark Wolf finished up a project he calls them V-LICS. After seeing the popularity of .BINs, he wanted to try unlimited dimensions in VGA. So he set to work and did a few different pages of a low res VGA in AAPro, and then had our coder create the loader. This loader is basically a 320x800 scroll-able VGA. Several other vga members have plans to do similiar projects. Illuminate, our studly viewer, now has multi-interface support. To switch interfaces while in Illuminate, use the left and right arrow keys. Illuminate now has .GIF support, as well. So enjoy. uhh, this coloring sucks but it goes wif da logo
