![]() Oh, and I forgot to mention it is big with TV. I haven’t even mentioned the rigid and soft body dynamics, particle system, amazing rigging tools such as Genoma, real-time Raytrace preview, instancing, and a powerful node based material editor. Since releases 10, 11 and the recent LightWave 11.5 it seems clear that NewTek are dedicated to a bigger, better, stronger, faster program that is better able to deliver results and go toe-to-toe with its larger rivals (did I just write a marketing pitch?). This is largely because it has solid modelling tools, a great easy to navigate interface, a fast and competent render engine, a strong community with lots of resources (such as tutorials and free plugins), and the program is relatively inexpensive when compared to the many of the other big name applications. LightWave is a great 3D modelling, animation and rendering package, and it has quickly become my tool of choice. But first let me start by offering those of you that don’t know much about the program a few reasons why I think it is so great. If you’re lucky or patient you can get going with LightWave very cheaply. Thanks to NewTek’s liberal licence transfer and upgrade policies gettings started with LightWave for less than the standard retail is quite easy. Upload the file using your web browser, then post the URL here.Īs a last resort you could email it to me, send me a private message if you want to do it that way.LightWave licence transfers and upgrades – quick, easy, cheap. The User CP and The Zone! links are in the blue strip near the top of each page on EAB.Īlternatively you can use one of various file sharing web sites, e.g. Click User CP then Group Memberships, then add The Zone.) Click "The Zone!" then use the form at the bottom of the page to upload. (You might need to enable your access to The Zone first. You could upload the file to The Zone here on EAB. Rename that to something more descriptive like TVPaint_3_ADFs.zip or similar. That should create a Zip archive named Archive.zip. If you have the four ADF files in a folder with no other files, select the folder then choose File->Compress. In a Finder window, select one or more items and choose Compress from the Action menu (looks like a gear).Control-click an item and choose Compress from the shortcut menu.Select the item or items you want to compress and choose File > Compress.Insert a blank/spare disk then typeįormat DRIVE PC0: name mytransfer NOICONS If you need to, you can format disks to PC format on your Amiga (you might not have any PC-formatted 720KB disks handy for example). zip file containing all the files, then upload that. You might want to use an archiver like zip to create a single. Once you have your files, copy them to PC-format disks and transfer to the Mac for uploading. TransADF DRIVE DF0: FILE TVPaint3_disk1.adf GZIPīut note that compressing data slows the reading process. You can specify the GZIP option to do that, e.g. TransADF can also compress the files it creates which may help fit more than one file on each PC disk. (we're doing that so each file will fit on a 720KB double-density PC disk). TransADF DRIVE DF0: FILE TVPaint3_disk1_part2.bin START 40 END 79 TransADF DRIVE DF0: FILE TVPaint3_disk1_part1.bin START 0 END 39 If you don't have an HD floppy drive, create two smaller files for each disk, like this: TransADF DRIVE DF0: FILE TVPaint3_disk1.adf If your Amiga has a high density drive that makes things easier because a complete ADF file fits on a PC HD floppy disk. Tip: make sure your original disks are write-protected beforehand. CD to the directory then use TransADF to create an ADF file from each TVPaint 3.0 disk. Make a directory on your hard disk (call it whatever you like, e.g. Once you have installed TransADF, open a CLI/Shell window. Copy the files from there to your Amiga's hard disk. On your Amiga, mount PC0: by double-clicking the PC0 icon in SYS:Storage/DosDrivers. If you don't already have the LhA archiver on your Amiga download that too. ![]() Download that using your Mac, copy the archive to a PC-format disk then transfer the disk to your Amiga. To create ADF files you can use TransADF. You'll create ADF files on your Amiga, copy the files to PC-format floppy disks, then insert each disk in the USB floppy drive and copy the files to your Mac. The idea is to transfer data using PC-format floppy disks since both Mac and Amiga can read those. You need a USB floppy drive connected to your Mac. There are probably several ways to transfer data between Amiga and Mac but I'll just cover what's easiest to explain here.
