Hello Scott,
I am replying to your question about purchasing an Indy to use Lightwave.
In early spring we will be coming out with an upgrade of Lightwave3D using
open GL. In Modeler you will be able to move your (shaded) models in real
time, work directly with (shaded) textured models in layout, with
instantaneous updates to lighting changes. We are working on plug ins such
as motion capture and particles.
The Silicon Graphics Indy has tremendous system throughput!! The Indy has
a 267MB per second system bus & a 400MB per second memory bus making it one
of the fastest systems on the market. The Indy is designed for digital
media, as well as multitasking, which allows you to run several
applications at once, as well as being able to program (scripting) with out
losing your work. The new R5000 processor is roughly 80% faster than the
R4400SC. This translates into pure processing power for your lightwave
application. The Indy also comes bundled with digital media tools and
software which will enable you take you designs to the next level. With
the new graphics capabilities of the Silicon Graphics Indy, you can do
complex matting & high end composting not available on a PC platform.
SGI is offering a special now on Indy Studio R5000. The bottom price is
13,500 for 64MB RAM, 1GB hard disk. The Indy is bundled with Adobe
Photoshop 3.0, Adobe Illustrator 5.5, Metatools KPT 2.0.1, Alias Composer
LT, Insignia Solutions Soft Windows 2.0, SGI NGS, and IRIS Impressario.
