  39. It is my understanding, that the LightEngine IS LightWave compatible, in    
  40. that, you run the LightEngine then load your LightWave scene (into          
  41. LightEngine)... and render. (go get a cup of coffee, come back, and your    
  42. 30 second animation is done. ;-))                                           
  43.                                                                             
  44. Newton's Law works the same. You load your scene, add mass to objects, add  
  45. gravity to world, etc..... I'm not sure if the stand alone version then     
  46. renders the scene or it just creates another scene file for LightWave to    
  47. render.                                                                     
  48.                                                                             
  49. This is from a telephone conversation with U.S.Cybernetics and some info    
  50. they faxed me.
