Welcome to LightWave!

The following is Late breaking news on the use of Lightwave and Modeler.



   Layout Scene Menu
   Scene Overview (Integer Version ONLY):

      A system crash can occur in the scene menu.  When selecting items
in the Scene Overview list, the system will shut down if the name of the
item is clicked with the left mouse button.  Avoid this by selecting the
icon of the item you wish to select (ie. small camera, small light, the 
dot for objects).  This bug will be corrected in the future.


   Layout Scene Menu
   Abort Scene Load:

      If you abort loading a scene by pressing the ESC key, make sure 
the 'Clear Scene' button is selected next.  Failing to do so may cause
a software failure.  


   Layout Record Menu
   Render Display-HAM mode:
	
      When the Render Display is set for 6-bit HAM & 8-bit HAM, Lightwave
will render in the default grey-scale mode.  Following the completion of the
current image section, the HAM screen will be displayed.  A single click with
the left mouse button will return you to the grey-scale display. The HAM
screen does remain open and continues to be updated.  To view the HAM image
at any time, simply use the Left Amiga + M combination to cycle through the
currently available screens until you reach the HAM display.

 
   Layout Options Menu
   Layout Interface:
		
      The higher resolution interface modes in the Options menu are for use
only with 3rd party display cards. 


   Layout Objects Menu
   Clip Maps:

      The example of clip mapping given in the manual is a little 
misleading.  The black portion of a clip map image does not get cut 
out of a polygon surface.  The reverse is actually true.  The clip map 
image used in the example is a black letter 'c' on a white background.  
See page 22 of LightWave Layout Objects.


	Addendum Update
	Missing Font:

	The Softmaker font "Caslon Antique" is not included with this 
software set.  It did not work properly with the Modeler and was left out
to avoid any problems.
