If?when the PC version of Lightwave is released (April) will the PC LW be able to render directly to PAR (as with the Amiga version previously). Will this be available immediately? Does the PC PAR accept only Targa or other formats, particularly IFFs, RGBs. Also is PAR available in either NTSC or PAL, or BOTH–or is there a NTSC to PAL or PAL to NTSC loader/saver? What is the best way to get a properly configured PAR, TBC set-up (if buying a new PC) to save on hassles and insure immediate working. (in LosAngeles or Seattle areas—I'm based in London and UK "expert" repairmen, with help from DPS supposedly destroyed my Amiga PAR and TBC which had been configured in LA) I need a new PAR fast to handle 50,000 frames (IFF) of animation stuck on Exabyte tapes–and need it fast.
