I was wondering...I just purchased an ALR Pentium 90 (PCI/EISA) with
40 MB RAM, MGA Impression 4MB video card, and a Matrox Illuminator PRO
board for outputting NTSC video...I'm interested in possibly getting LW
and wanted to know if there was anything else I needed to purchase in
order to output frames individually? I know I can get a PAR to work wi
th a PC, but can I get away from having to make that extra investment?
Will LW talk to the illuminator pro (I'd rather avoid Topas and Autode
sk because the first IMHO has a large learning curve and a weak modelle
r, the second IMHO is an inferior program all the way around)? And if
not, how difficult will it be to do a mass transfer of files from that
CPU to my 4000's PAR? (yes, this is an afterthought because the main
reason we bought the computer was for higher quality CG work).
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Erik
P.S. Has LW for the IBM started shipping yet? And if it has...how bug
free is it?
