Ouch! an A4000/040-40mhz Warp Engine renders just as fast as a 486Dx2/66 for
Lightwave. Its pretty amazing when I think I could actually buy a complete
486 machine with RAM for the same price as a Warp Engine card.
Comming back to Lightwave on Windoze.
Will Version 4.0 support network rendering? and at what cost? I`m thinking
about 3DS here, which allows 999 slave machines at no extra cost. Could
Version 4.0 be used this way?, ie no interactive graphics, just the rendering
engine ala. ScreamerNET. I`m starting to use Ray-Traced reflections more
and more, and my average scenes have shot up from 10 minutes to 5 hours a
frame. yikes! but its the only way I can get my animations to lose that
3D Studio look.
I`m really keen to test Lightwave out on a dual 90Mhz Pentium system, I
suppose LW does not yet support multi-threading?
I hope Newtek will make this available very very soon. :)
Steve.
