Hi everybody, I'm experimenting with Lightwave. My plan is to publish Lightwave animation on CD-Rom and CD-I. Please send me your best animation-scene's to my Compuserve's adress. I have a PAR to render the scene's to broadcast video. As far as I understand it doesn't matter if your scene files are originally created on a Amiga or a PC. I'm looking forward on meeting you and your work soon! Greeting Eduard Nicolaas Ponder

Ha! Sure, I'll send you all my best scenes – absolutely free – and let you do whatever you want with them. I admire your enthusiasm, but I make a living on this stuff. Let's talk about licenses, and then you might get more respondents. And, what good is a PAR for producing CD-ROMs? (I hope you're not going to output to video, and then compress it to MPEG on the fly?!? That'll look horrid.) Are you saying you have a CD-ROM writer for your Amiga(?!?), or is this being done on the PC? Keep On Toastin' Erik Flom – ELF Works 3D Construction Co.

Hi Erik, Thanks for your quick response. I was actually planning to output to D3 PAL video and finalize it on a CD-I disk. I have pretty good experiences with that. I understand that you have to make a living, doesn't everybody. This particular CD-I showcase might enhance that. Tell me want you like to be mentioned in your license agreement. Hope to hear from you soon, Greeting from Holland, please note the following.

You'll have to pardon my previous message. It might have come off a _little_ harsher than I'd meant it to. }:^) There are a lot of 'startups' out there who love to call and try to milk me for as much free info and stuff as they can get – in many cases, they just disappear after I've wasted an hour or two helping them out. I'm interested in finding out more about this, since if you're doing CD-I, I can provide a complete edited demo reel, with music. Primarily I'm not interested in 'giving away' a bunch of scenes and models that I've put long hours into. Many have usage restrictions placed on them by the original client, too. If you could e-mail me more info about your plans, I'd definitely consider it. (I've already got images and objects on a number of CD-ROM's out there now, so adding the same material to another disc is no problem. And free advertising is hard to turn down!) Thanks, & Keep On Toastin' Erik Flom – ELF Works 3D Construction Co.

Dear Erik, Sceptism is a very good quality in a person and is sincerely admired and stimulated from where I stand. When you already have a lot of stuff on tape it will be greatly welcomed over here. The reason I asked for scene's, any scene, was to try out wether it is effective to exchange complete scene's over Compuserve or the Net in order to convince my clients also of the fact that every animator working for them doesn't neccesarily have to live in Holland to finalize a project. Furthermore the client would have a wider variety of choice in design signatures if you understand what I mean. This is basicly the goal I am aiming at. So don't hesitate when you have further questions. I gladly reply. Have a nice weekend. Greetings, Eduard
