I don't know the answer to your rendering problem, but there is a workaround
for your loading problem under Windows 95.  It seems that Lightwave PC has
some problems with Amiga filenames.  To solve it, do the following.

1. Go into Lightwave.
2. Go to the Objects panel and click Load from Scene.  Select the scene you
want to load.  Lightwave may tell you it can't find certain images or
whatever - just point it to the right ones when it asks.
3. Click Save All Objects.
4. Go into a text editor and edit your scene file.  You should change any
references , for example '3D:Objects/Teapot.lwo', to what it should be, for
example 'C:\Newtek\Objects\Teapot.lwo'.
5. Go into Lightwave and load the scene.  It should work.

>And remember, if it says "Microsoft" you know it sucks!

Oh, please...

Rick
