well i have been using lightwave for a number of months now
and the only stuff i have really done is animations in which
the purpose of creating them is just to see what a specific
feature of lightwave can do, such as me Flag.  buy anyway
as a child i had lots of Space lego stuff and i decided to
do a PROPER/REAL animation, ie: i am planning for it to be a
little 3 minute long movie. 
 
i have finished modeling everything for it, some of the models
are in this picture.  well this picture is kind of ruff, like
i just through the objects together in about 5 minutes and 
clicked  on render!  so the purple background is a mistake as
i forgot to reset the backdrop colour to black after a previous
project.  you may also notice that the face of the lego man
is to big, i have recently fixed that up so eveything is kewl.

all the space lego objects are in proper scale like the real
thing, i used a pair of dividers and measured each individual
block and modeled them in modeller.  my intention for this
movie is to have the space lego in the Cartoon or Cel animation
look, while all the environment is in 3D.

well  unfortuantely this project as been put on hold since my
030@25mhz is to damn slow ( i hate having to wait 20-30seconds
for lightwave to redraw the obj's.  i was gonna by one of 
those PPC boards from phase 5 (phase 5 are my gods! ;)) and 
hope that newtek would port LW to it, but it appears with the
soon released version of LW5.5 that newtek have ditched the
amiga and no more future version of Lightwave AMIGA will exist.
so now i'm not gonna buy a PPC card as i have no need for it
because of this, instead i will just have to wait for the
all might kick arse a\BOX!!!

hmm come to think of it now i want to send my flames and
angur to Newtek, like all i have to say is why have you ditched
the amiga? like ok so in MAY 1997 the amiga will once again have the
power with these PPC boards, are you intending to develop LW
for them and have real time shaded previews like LW5 on other
platforms??  if not i wanna know why! like the amiga got newtek
where it is today, if the amiga didn't exist there would be no
toaster or lightwave. hmm come to think of it also i am a PAL
user and would very much love to have a TOASTER but unfortunately
i can't have one since it is an NTSC product, ok so there are
NTSC->PAL signal convertors and TBC's but the price of them is
more than the cost of an actual toaster and not to mention
the quality loss.  like that PASSPORT (i think) box which does
this cost like $5000 bucks...


ok well thats it for the talk, long live the amiga!! phuk the
peecee and mac is lame....
