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

Last time I spoke with Tech Support they told me that they are looking at different options for 3d graphic aceleration and realtime rendering including OpenGl. I guess that we will have to wait for version 5.0 for this.
