- Well man.. from what I've read from NEWTEK lately... the pentium
- LW version is suppose to run like this:
-
- a P90 system verses an Amiga 4000 '040 is suppose to run about
- 8 to 10 times faster than the Amiga... BUT... I know that it probably
- won't
- have any of that live play back stuff that the LW on an AMiga toaster lets
- you do.
- I visited an Art School's open house. They had all these supposedly
- awesome
- guys with anims going... the people were oooing and aweing...
- (It was choppy as *ell) I reaised my hand and asked "excuse me, but how
- many frames per second are you running at?"
- The guy stuttered, frowned and said "Uh.. well.. we are playing it in
- REAL TIME
- .. so you can't really count the frames per second... we can dump them to
- video tape frame by frame and get 30 frames per second..."
- They were using AutoDesk 3.0 for windows, I think. I said, "Well,
- looks like
- you're running at about.. oh.. 12 frames per second.." he agreed,
- reluctanly.
- I then asked "well.. do you have any Toasters here? They could do it in
- REAL
- time at about 30 frames per second for several seconds..."
- They told me afterwards that the Amigas rendered much slower than their
- Macs and IBM's. I asked them what Amiga's they owned. They were running
- OLD Amiga 2500's with only 7 or megs of ram and I believe only a 68020 at
- that...no wonder... duh...
-
- Well... Later,
- please let me know if you hear anything more about the Pentium Lightwave
- stuff.. NewTek promises that it will Shake, rattle and roll on a P90, I
- bought
- me a P100 and am waiting... oh well...
-
-
- later,

- J.J.
