- Lightwave 3D(tm) without the Toaster?
-
- The solution is Lightrave(tm)!
-
- September, 1993. Richmond, VA - Warm and Fuzzy Logic, Inc. announced their
- solution for the Amiga(tm) computer which allows you to use NewTek's
- Lightwave 3D animation system without the Video Toaster(tm). The product
- is Lightrave - an all new hardware device that resides on the serial port
- of ANY Amiga computer and emulates the necessary Toaster functions that
- allow Lightwave to fully function on your Amiga!
-
-
- Features:
-
- HIGH SPEED EMULATION: Lightrave is a custom hardware module that emulates
- all of the Toaster functions needed by Lightwave 3D!
-
- TOASTER FREEDOM: Lightrave enables any Amiga to run Lightwave 3D without
- requiring a Video Toaster to be installed.
-
- NEW ADVANCED FEATURES: Lightrave adds a suite of professional features never
- before available to Lightwave 3D users.
-
- FASTER!! Lightrave will render images faster than a Toaster equipped Amiga,
- as no lengthy display time to the Video Toaster is required.
-
- TRUE 24 BIT DISPLAY: Rendering is no longer limited to the Toaster's
- composite display alone. Lightrave now allows Lightwave 3D to render
- directly to the most popular 24bit graphic cards. Supported cards include
- the GVP IV-24, Retina, Opalvision, DCTV, Firecracker, EGS Spectrum,
- Piccolo, Picasso, Rainbow 3, Amiga, and Amiga-AGA displays.
-
- PAL COMPATIBLE: Lightrave makes Lightwave 3D fully functional for European
- PAL users.
-
- FAST ANIMATIONS: Full screen preview animations previously only available
- on the Toaster-4000(tm) are now available to all Lightwave 3D users. The
- animations are stored in standard Amiga "Anim" animation formats and may
- be transferred and edited by other Amiga programs. Direct rendering to DCTV
- and OpalVision animation formats will be available shortly.
-
- NETWORKING: Lightrave is fully network compatible. From the low cost Parnet
- to the high end Ethernet solutions, Lightrave is the perfect solution for
- all Lightwave 3D "Render Farms".
-
- IMAGE PROCESSING: Render directly to GVP's ImageFX, where frames can be
- image processed before being saved to disk!
-
- FULLY COMPATIBLE: Works with the entire Amiga line of computers. Even the
