hardware OS4   hardware OS4 : LightWave RTG Patch released
   posted by elwood on 13-Feb-2006 10:10:54 (2968 reads)
LightWave RTG Patch is a small tool to allow LightWave to correctly function
on RTG-only systems running AmigaOS4. It patches the render code so that you can use LW on OS4.


The file is available now on OS4 Depot.

Thanks to Stephen Fellner.

It would be even better if NewTek released a free version of Lightwave for Amiga OS

Didn't Newtek release the souce code?

I for one would love to see an Avi of this program running under Os4.

The AOS4 snowball is gathering speed. Watch out for the avalanche!

I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

Is anyone using render farm with the AmigaOS version of the lightwave?
(screamernet, IIRC)

((IMO: the usage of assynchronous multiprocessing and/or network processing is the "only" way for PPC AmigaOS power users to get x86 compareable performance on Amiga systems dunring this decade. And uA1 with 2ghZ DCG5 render/compile/booster on a PCI slot would be nice, if not then x86 booster would suffice. For example screamernet can use CPU's from different CPU families on the screamer network, and the CPU would be faster accessible on the PCI slot than on gigabit ethernet. And Amigas with multiple PCI slots could fly.....))

Is that for the version that shipped with the Toaster, or the stand-alone version?

@ Interesting

Only the source-code to the Video Toaster Flyer was released, not LightWave 3D Amiga version.

Best regards

Why would you need a patch for classic? Everything works there.

Hi

I'm running Lightwave on voodoo 3 on an Mirage 4k - having some prb with modepro. I also use an video converter from Electronic Design with the s-video output conected to the same lcd as the voodoo runs on - the screen flashes and is stressfull to see on.
