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

be requested to enter you password more than once(Netscape seems to
do this more often than IE3.0) this is not a bug. In the event your

another request for your username/password.
