Well, I have a Raptor III with the Mips r4600 and yes, there will
be a lightwave version for it coming out soon, (in the proverbial two
weeks in fact) or so NewTek keeps telling us. It was supposed to ship a
few weeks ago, but apparently, is hung up over problems with the
instalation program (find it hard to believe).
As for other programs running on it, I havn't had much luck with
the things I want to run; photoshop doesnt seem to work, even with he
3.01 version, and thats the tip of the iceberg. Photopaint five does,
but it's buggy as beta. I here Picture publisher will be coming out in
the fall, native, and ron scott's qfx is out now, for the rediculiously high
price of 1500 bucks. Winimages is native -- an interesting morph and f/x
program which is desparately lackin in the drawing dept ( comon guys, how
about a paint brush so you can create those alpha channels ?)
a lot of other things are on the way -- softimage 3d and eddie --
but thats in the future.
