Yes, another request.. :) Come on, most of us running LightWave probably
are not running it on a stock A500... :) Most of us have '040s and many
are looking at the many '060s available.. I am also most certain that
these guys would also have something better than just the Amiga HAM mode
to render on.. Perhaps AGA, perhaps soem 24bit gfx board? I have a
PicassoII (excellent) and will be getting a CyberVision soon (as soon as
I can find one!) If supporting the numurous Amiga 24 bit boards is too
much work, at least look into supporting CyberGraphics.. Include the
shareware package with LightWave 4.0 Amiga.. You still have the time..
:-) Support Modes Database and CyberGraphics.....
Amiga Forever! :)
