3D modeling
>I absolutely hate Amigas. The only program I have ever used on them is
Lightwave.
Well sheesh. I think they're super, tho I know they never had the
acceptance and are slow by todays standard. Still, with one, I had a
32 bit pre-emptive multitasking OS nearly a decade ago. In fact I
had a 3D modeler/tracer on the shelves in 89, for CLI -or- GUI. Ah
well no point, just hoping you can appreciate something of the
Amiga.. no need for a thread about wars.
>I was born with a PC in my mouth and have always used them.
I was born wayyy before that. When we had a apple][ with a 68000/7220
and 2megs static ram in a slot, and other advanced cards, IBM sent us
this completely stupid 8088 cassette thing called a PC. it was good
for a laugh, and we put it right next to the LISA (also rather
worthless).
>I am actually heavily biased towards PC's, and even more biased towards NT
systems >and SGIs.
SGI, well theres no comparing to that, they're awesome. Dont expect
to really compare a PC to one, soon. 😉
>I think that most of Lightwaves problems are due to the Amiga's architecture.
Well in that specifically, I'd think you've laid the blame
inappropriately. (And there is fair blame to lay). The Amiga long
suffered 'lack of progress' after its intro and before its demise,
but really, only intimate experience with the low level Amiga can
give you the finer points of the appreciation. There are worthwhile
points within.
Frankly, I wish I had a platform that was a combo of the best of both
platforms, but then, it still would perhaps pale next to an SGI. Ah
to have a real computer.
