I ended up calling NewTek and they're going to send me a manual. What do you mean by a "cracked version of LW35"? Is that a piraated copy?
P.S. How about this for a NEW tagline… Burnt and Toasted Toasted not stirred Just plain Toasted or Keep on keepin' on… Lance Channel 10 and Access America, Fairfax, Va.
I did not pirate anything. When my station bought our Raptor Plus, our dealer gave us two diskettes with LW 3.5 to go with it. They did not come with labels attached, nor with any documentation. I was just trying to get some help. Don't assume the worst of people…

Michael, thanks. I appreciate the address. Lance Keep on Toastin…
John thanks for the tip on WaveMaker. Lance
Adib, my dealer told me he got on the phone with Axiom, makers of WaveMaker. They said there is something quirky in the software that makes the Toaster go crazy. They suggested that I create my scene in WaveMaker without gooing into LW. Save the scene. Shutsown WaveMaker. Go into…
Raptor/LW3.52 Question
Message #43189
John, go ahead and use the question in your column. By the way, I liked this month's column on Lightwave 3.5. It answered a bunch of questions. I'm still a little confused about metaform. I saw Lee Stanahan make a car out of a box in 5 minutes but I…
Thanks for the advice. I am taking one of the Lee Stranahan seminars this week and I raised this question. HGe talked about changing the LW_Config file like you suggested. He also said, and proved to us, that even if you delete the LW_config file, the system will generate a…
#Changing drives
Message #42452
We recently installed a Micropolis 1.6 gig hard drive in out T4000 system. When I use any of the pop-up menus, say to Load an object, the requester offers me the choices HD0, HD1, DF0, etc. The new hard drive is called DH1. How to I go about chaning the…
Thanks, I think I'll try the morph target idea. Can you tell me which command in modeler lets you make curves so I can read up on it. I was making a sattelite dish with stand and all today. I had trouble with a couple of really basic shapes. I…
I'm just finding out how powerful Modeler really is. I experimented with the Boolean function today for the first time. I created a long thick tube and cloned 30 copies of it down the Y axis. I then used my station logo – a "10" – as a cookie cutter.…
#Modeler Bug
Message #41805
It's getting so that I'm spending so much time EDITING at my station, that I don't have a lot of time to play around in Lightwave as much as I would like. Do you have any reccomendations on what to read to tell me how to use the macros. I've…
#Modeler Bug
Message #41243
If you go into Modeler and try to extrude "Productions, Inc." in DomesticText font, the system locks up and kicks you out to Workbench. I've duplicated it on two different machines. The thing is, I can make an object that has a larger number of letters and it doesn't lock…
#Asst. Toaster Questions
Message #41242
I work at a small public access TV station outside Washington, D.C and am using a T4000. I've pretty much gotten the hang of lightwave. I can do simple animations but have trouble when I have to create my own objects. Up till now, the toughest thing I've had to…
#Lightwave Nebulae
Message #74774
Does anyone out there have any idea how to build a nebula ala Babylon 5? I know it's possible but have no idea how to begin Keep on Toastin'>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Lance
The objects are in the Amiga Arts Forum. Do a FIND "Amiga" and you will get several listings including the Amiga File Finder. You'll find this useful as all you have to do is type in a number of keywords such as "LIGHTWAVE" and "3D" and "OBJECTS", it will do…
I've never used it. Is that in the Toaster 4000 manual? Thanks, Lance
#Building in Lightwave
Message #74373
I've been using the Toaster 4000 with Ami-Link since early December. I've learned a lot already but I find that everyday is a learning experience. I guess it's going to be that way for quite a while. I was recently in Modeler trying to build a set of French doors.…
#Downloading Objects
Message #74371
I understand there is a large collection of Lightwave 3D 0bjects in the library. I'd love to try some of them out. One thing I still don't understand is how to transfer them from an MS DOS disk to my Amiga 4000? Somebody out there answered this question recently but…
Wayne, Thanks for the info. I kind of figured they were just masking the problem. I still wonder why it was working perfectly for three weeks straight, and the all of a sudden decided to start missing frames while rendering… Oh well. One question (I'm an editor not an engineer)…
#Skipped Frames
Message #74165
I workk at a small Public Access station in the D.C. area. We are running a Toaster 4000 with Ami-Link and using Sony VO 9850 3/4 SP decks. My problem is this. Up till a few days ago animations were running great. Then all of a sudden they started skipping…
Erik, if I download the objects from Compuserve on an IBM machine, how do I copy them to my Toaster 4000? I'm kind of new to this. Appreciate the help. Thanks Lance

Hi, I'm new to the forum AND the Video Toaster. I've learned so much about the Toaster 4000 in the last week that I'm dying to learn more. I've just been made A/B Roll editor at Channel 10, a public access station in Fairfax County, VA. Anyway, I was playing…
