#PGM Out Routing?
Wayne,
I spoke to NewTek recently and they gave me a number for a firm that is
soon to release a y/c converter for the Toaster. The guy at NewTek said
that the product is being developed using Faroudja circuits and should be
out in about 4-6 weeks. Here's the number – 913-235-3481. I probably
should have waited for it but went ahead and ordered the device that I
spoke to you about in an earlier message.
I am curious. Have you heard much about the Lightwave upgrade? I have
picked up bits and pieces and if what I hear is legit it will be a major
deal. Here's a few things that I have heard:
1. User definable variable anti-aliasing in ALL resolutions.
2. Optimized for '040 use
3. Option for non ray-traced shadows
4. Cubic environmental mapping (a la Caligari)
5. Faster in general with some new rendering buffer dealie
Here's a few that I am secretly hoping for:
1. Background and foreground image scripting
2. More polygons
3. Support for JPEG output
4. Allowing for texture maps to be parented to objects, not just the
world coordinates
Oh, I forgot another one I heard. Something about generalized motion blur.
I'm curious as to what you've heard.
Back to my modeling career.
