#shadows in Lightwave
5 messages in this thread
Don't feel Bad Mike, I've been having ALOT of 30 minutes per frame
rendering times lately. And this is for a 5100 frame Anim, I am NOT
happy.
But this is Imagine not Lightwave and Hopefully next month when the new
version of Imagine apppears it'll render a bit faster or maybe this Anim
will be done.

Well, I have Imagine 2.0 and when those guys say "Quickrender" I say, "How
slow???" Seriously, I have a question for you about using Imagine. I keep
playing with it and don't get anywhere. I got Steve Worley's book but then I
let a buddy have it because I am learning Lightwave and I thought it would be
greedy not to share the book with my friend while I am not using it. But every
once in a while, as a break from learning LW, I dabble with Imagine. So: 1. How
do you get it to render in DCTV format. I typed DCTV into "quickrender
rendering method" in preferences. But I get a message that says Bad
Quickrendering Method in config file. 2. How the hell do you animate with this
thing. I have trod through 100 pages of gibberish and I still can't figure it
out…. Give me a clue, will ya?
To render in DCTV you not only have to set the Rendering Method to DCTV
but the File Format as well must be set to DCTV. Hope this helps.

I will see what I have in my settings under fiel format. I think I have
rendering method now set to "scanline" and file format to DCTV, but when it
chucks up the image, it is HAM.
The Quickrendering I NEVER use, the Project Editor is FASTER, Strange but
seemingly true.
To animate "I" render all the frames and then use Imagemaster or the PD
prg ADAM to generate the Animation.
if you want Imagine to compile a 4 bit plane anim for you hit Anim button
in the File Rtype area of Project Editor then use MAKE in the Movie
Section. Ho[pe this helps you
I'm going PC soon BTW to use Imagine on.
