-
- 25 Oct 1998.
- Russian Guide translated by Vassili 'Bedazzle' Smirnov.
- Russian font included. Thanx pal!
-
- 1.Introduction.
-
- What is this? Just a simple,realtime LightWave objects shower. It started as
- an idea for LW plug-in, but now you have standalone proggy. At final final
- stage it crystalized as a program for fast cataloguing (sure it's not an
- english word:) of your ultra-huge libraries of objects. Of course - the
- program is small and simple. But it is just a start for us in utility
- production. We, "Humbug Mimetics" won't stop on this one - we plan to
- develop more useful, and (hope so) more sophisticated tools. But now you
- can read only about the future of this one.
-
- 2.Requirements:
-
- An AGA chipset, Kickstart 3.0 or above.
- Libraries: Reqtools.library in the libs: directory
-
- 2 megabytes of RAM for simple objects. Reccomended at least 0.5 MB of fast
- RAM to gain some speed for objects like the famous cow :), that have more
- than 2000 polygons.
-
- 3.Features:
-
- Light View offers:
- -showing the LightWave objects,
- -showing the objects in some different modes:
- -points,
- -lines (solid, to be honest),
- -simple shading (FLAT),
- -Z-Shade shading,
- -Gouraud shading,
- -fake Phong shading (enviorment mapping),
- -three modes of polygon flipping:
- -right faces,
- -left faces,
- -all faces (it helps with some bad converted objects),
-
- -free scaling and rotating of the object with mouse,
- -automatic animation of the object (rotation),
- -nice user interface :),
- -full multitasking.
-
- The demo version has some limitations, of course. They're not that big, but
- I'm sure they will be enough annoying to register:
- -LightView demo can only load objects in its' own, internal format (that's
- why program is distributed with some objects).

- 5.Shareware
- Future of this program is mostly in yours hands - the feedback, registering
- and fact of NOT seeing this program @{"registered" link "Register" 0} version in interesting places
- (like Los Endos, Boondocks....).
- In simple words - if you want the program to be developped, you have not
- only to support it with money, but also care about its' saftey.
-
- The registration fee is: 20 DM or 15 USD. All following upgrades are free.
-
- If you want to register over snail-mail you'll have to add 5DM/3USD more for
- disk & shipping.

- Each registered user will get unique version of program. Once again it
- relies on you to not give it to other person, or place it on some FTP. We
- have demo version for this.
