Do actually talk like this or do you just have bad quality control on your typing. For input, the Toaster requires stable synch and if multiple inputs are used, they must be synchronized. This means acceptable inputs are cameras, video disc players, and time base corrected vcrs. Multiple inputs require genlocking for cameras or synchronizers for recorded video. Any NTSC composite vcr can be used on the output, but doing animation with Lightwave will require single frame recording capability. >Ad what's the "real" info on the toster 3d ray tracing ability >I've used it, it's fast, but i hear it cheats. Lightwave is NOT a ray-tracer. It is one of the most capable 3D renderers available on any personal computer. What do you mean by "it cheats"? Please be more specific. What "real" info are you looking for? %~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~% % ` ' Mark Thompson CONCURRENT COMPUTER % % --==* RADIANT *==-- mark@westford.ccur.com Principal Graphics % % ' Image ` ...!uunet!masscomp!mark Hardware Architect % % Productions (508)392-2480 (603)424-1829 & General Nuisance % % % ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
