I can confirm this also works well with smaller memory sizes.. I've rendered
12 meg scenes in 6 megs ram with no problem. Doesn't really seem to increase

Command:
render time too much, and hard drive use is minimal (some programs cause gigamem to swap pages to disk constantly). However, the more virtual memory you
use, the slower it gets. Virtual memory is great to have when rendering
(3d studio for the IBM has virtual memory built in..)

There is a PD virtual memory program, but it's much slower.
Remember you need a true '030 CPU with an MMU to use these..

Yes, all this whining is pathetic to see on the IML. Send flames to me via
personal mail if you want.
If you are planning to spend(or waste) money on LightRave & Lightwave you may
as well spend the extra couple hundred to get the real Toaster4000 with
Command:
Lightwave. The Rave-Wave combo will certainly run you in excess of 1000$
(versus 100$ to get Imagine 3.0). And getting LightRave doesn't guarantee that
you will find a dealer that will sell you the Toaster software upgrade if you
are a registered Toaster owner anyway. IMHO, LightRave is NOT worth getting.
I suppose you guys get upset everytime someone opens a candy wrapper to find
that they won a new car or game system or whatever that you spend loads of
money on. So you guys then decide 'Well, F**k this, I'm buying my next car/game/whatever from someone else. I just think this whole whining thing is stupid,
IMHO. Remember: if you want to flame me, send it via personal mail. DOn't
waste bandwidth on the IML.

Hi to those who have been talking about the golden glint;
I was wondering if you could track your light like your camera to
an axis then move your axis across your golden letters, if angled right
you should get an interesting effect with the reflections moving themsevles
instead of something more stationary by just moving the light or trying
to rotate the light(this is horrible I can never get the light right where
I want it, Well ok it takes a number of tries) anyway Just a thought I haven't
tried it but if it can be done I would like to hear about it.
Thanks and good luck
