NAB Show News?
Although the press releases wasn't definitive, I get the impression that
they're planning to sell the GUI-less LightWave rendering engine on other
platforms. You probably pay $2000 to get one version for one platform. They
did not state they'd make an Amiga version, but you'd think that should've been
the first and easiest port on their list!
I think there's plenty of people who'd pay for any increase in rendering power
– even just the same rendering speed on another Amiga, even a 2x increase on an
average MS-DOS box, I'd even venture that if people had a way to get a render
engine with *less* than the power of their primary Amiga, they'd buy it – and I
guess the existence of LightRave demonstrates that.
