Will future versions of Lightwave PC support realtime solid modeling? I have a Matrox Impression Plus. It accelerates 150,000 polygons in real time. Many 3D API's are now available on the PC. Examples are OpenGL, 3DR, Reality Lab, BRender. My video card will accelerat all of those API's The reason I bring this up, the future of PC video cards will contain chips to accelerate 3D on the fly. Caligari Truespace 2.0 has taken advantage of this, I hope New Tek will follow suit. Any thoughts or comments are welcomed Alan
