Hi, JG... since you're one of the beta testers (and the guy writing the
docs :) ), could you answer a question for me?
Will LW 4.0 (Amiga mainly, but generally all versions) have the moving
preview in Modeller?
Reason I ask is that CU Amiga Magazine (British Mag) writter (and
presumably beta tester.. where else would he get LW 4.0 Amiga?) Simmon
Coombs says "It appears that the 'moving solid' preview mode is likely to
be dropped, but that's no great loss". On the contrary, I find the moving
preview VERY useful to visualize objects in Modeler.
Also, he seems to have an old version of the Beta, since he mentiones (and
the pictures show) a Glow button on the interface, rather than a plug-in,
and critisises LW's lack of changing the shape of the lens reflections to
other shapes (like hexagons), since "other software has been doing that
for years".
But, then again, you yourself said in the LWPro editorial that LW had
changed a lot more than you had thought before the final release... but
you also said "it'll be shipping anytime now (if it hasn't already)." :)
Thanks for the info, John... Good luck with the LW 4.0 docs!
