Message-ID: <730015@hpmwngf.HP.COM> Date: 30 Oct 90 02:33:19 GMT References: <25392@dartvax.Dartmouth.EDU> Organization: HP Microwave Tech. - Santa Rosa, Ca. Lines: 14 There is an INCREDIBLE animation package that come FREE with the toaster called Lightwave. It is a true 3-D animation program, while DPIII produces 2-D animations... One other critical difference is that the .anim type files that can be created with DPIII cannot be done with the toaster. The rendering from Lightwave must be sent to videotape frame-by-frame in order to produce an animation. I know of no plans to attempt to do delta-frame animations with the Toaster (this is what DPaint uses). Hope this helps. -Mike-
