 Questar's IFF ZBUF Saver Plug-in for Lightwave  

Questar Productions releases freeware
IFF ZBUF saver Plug-in for
Newtek's Lightwave 3D v4.0    

(with source!)

 (Dec 4th, 1995)
Questar Productions is making available their new plug-in for Newtek's Lightwave
3D Rendering package at no cost! This Image-Filter class plug-in will save
Lightwave's Z-Buffer (pixel-distance) information to a file using the IFF-ZBUF
file format. This information can then be read into other programs that support
the ZBUF format (such as Questar's World Construction Set), and used to perform
easy compositing of images from multiple 3D programs.

In addition, Questar is also releasing the source code to the Lightwave plug-in.

"We found that there was a lack of non-trivial examples of Lightwave plug-in
source-code, so we decided to make our source available to others. I believe
this will help other first-time plug-in developers get started, and help the
Lightwave third-party developer program grow." said Chris Hanson of Questar
Productions.

 The source code and executable files can be downloaded from the World Wide Web
on Questar's Home Page at:

 This plug-in will also be bundled with Questar's forthcoming Version 2 upgrade
to their flagship product, World Construction Set.
