Pontari Productions' Super Glow for LightWave 3D 5.0 Copyright 1997 Pontari Productions. All rights reserved. Installation instructions: The Super Glow plug-in consists of the following files: sglow.p sglow.hlp sglow.cnt plus the following support files LWPanels.p readme.txt sgmanual.wri All three of the main files should be copied to your NewTek/Plug-ins/Layout directory. In addition Super Glow ships with a new version of the NewTek plug-in LWPanels.p. This new version should be copied on top of the existing LWPanels.p. In the event you have a more recent version of LWPanels.p you should not need to do this. LWPanels.p created after January 20th 1997 should work fine with Super Glow. Pervious versions will produce crashes or jumbled UI in the main Super Glow panel. This new version of LWPanels.p is only needed for LightWave 5.0 users. LightWave 5.5 users do not need to install the lwpanels.p included with Super Glow. Once you have copied the files to your plug-in directory you need to add Super Glow to your LightWave configuration files. To do this first start LightWave layout and choose the Options button at the top. On the Options panel you should choose the Add Plug-ins option and point the file requestor to the sglow.p file. This will add the Super Glow image filters and shaders to your current LightWave configuration. You should exit LightWave at this time to make sure a good lw.cfg file is written. If you havent added the LWPanels.p plug-in you should perform the same steps as above only choosing it instead of the sglow.p file. If you have successfully installed Super Glow you will have the following plug-ins added to LightWave. Under the Effects->Image Processing->Image Filter Plug-ins Super_Glow Multi_Super_Glow Under the Surfaces->Shader plug-ins Super_Glow Super_Glow_Protection Super_Glow_Bright Super_Glow_Advanced Super Glows also comes with a copy of the printed manual in Microsoft Word 6.0 format so that it can be easily printed or viewed on-line. If you do not have Microsoft Word a free Word viewer can be downloaded from Microsoft's web site. http://www.microsoft.com/word/internet/viewer/ More information about Super Glow including updates and bug fixes can be found on Pontari Productions' Super Glow web site: http://www.pontari.com/pontari/superglow When you ordered Super Glow you should have recieved a User Id and a password to access the Super Glow download pages.
