I am looking at getting lightwave PC for my Pentium. However, I really don't want to buy a PAR Card (or equivalent) for the PC since I already have one for the Toaster. What I'd like to do is create the objects and scenes on the PC, even render (in RGB or IFF or whatever) on the PC, and have it save the frames to a ZIP drive. The next step would be to carry the 100MB disk to a ZIP drive attached to the Toaster, and IMPORT it into the PAR Recorder. My question is, how do I get the Amiga to recognize a 100MB PC drive? And, what will I need to hook up both drives? Of course, if any of you have a better idea or solution, I am open for suggestions. I'd love to have the PC and the Toaster both rendering a single animation, for example. Or, I could render 2 seperate ones simoultaneously, one on the Pentium and one on the Toaster. Also, I am not married to the ZIP drive if there is a better solution out there, or I've even heard that "Truespace 3D II" is a heck of a program for the PC. In other words, I'm wide open as far as hardware, software, HOW to go about it, etc. Thanx! J. Morgan Trotter/TX
