- Well I have done it - but it wasn't exactly easy - here's how. ->
-
- 1. render individual frames in LW.
- 2. Start ShapeShifter and then mount the MAC: driver
- 3. Copy all your frames over to the Mac side (I converted mine to gif to
- save space on the Mac side)
- 4. Use a Mac Shareware Prog called Graphic Converter (which can load 24bit
- iff BTW) and use the
- "Convert More" option.
- 5. Save out as a Cinepak compressed or whatever (Animation is good for
- renders) and sit back
- for a while (quite a while) and let it make a QT.MOV for you.
-
- Note:
- I've only done this once but a real Mac had no problems what-so-ever
- reading and playing it.
- I added some sound to it as well using another tool (can't remember what
- it was called)
- and the receiving Mac was *so* impressed by LightWave they went and bought
- an A1200
- just to run LW on because as you know Mac lacks anything near LW in the
- price/performace range
- that LW is in.
-
- Cludgy but it works ;)
