- Greetings from Singapore. Well, here's another Xwing. This one was
- modeled in Imagine 2.0 a few years ago (before Lightwave had a modeler,
- like, before LW 3.0) and converted with Pixel 3D. It's very detailed,
- though, and takes about 14 megs to render (including LW being loaded).
-
- To use, stick the model in a dir called objects/xwing. It'll look for the
- pictures in a directory assignment called 'animpics:'. It also uses the
- 'fractalreflections' pic that comes with LW. Of course, I can't distribute
- that one, but anyone that bought LW will have it in their /images directory.
- If you want to use the .hrc file, (Load from Scene) you'll get lights on the
- engines as well. Put that wherever your Hierarchies directory is.
-
- If the model amuses you, send me mail! There are virtually no (legal) LW
- users here in Singapore that I know about, sadly, although that'll change
- with the PC version... No, actually, it will just mean something else for
- the local pirates to feed on. I'm not bitter, honest.
-
- Who am I? A teacher at Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Singapore, in the Film and
- Video department. I teach video production, film production, some computer
- animation and FX, mostly with Softimage and Eddie, but also Prisms
- (very cool programme), and when it gets on the SGIs, Lightwave. I've had LW
- since 1.0, but hated it until 3.0, when it became a most amazing piece of
- software. I also love my Amiga, but am reluctantly looking at other
- platforms, now that it's pretty much dead. I hate Microsoft and anything
- associated with it.

- Oh, there's pretty much no point in my copyrighting this, since Lucasfilm
- holds the copyrights on the design, and my telling you I'll be annoyed if
- you use it for commercial work is peanuts compared to the almighty wrath of
- the LucasLawyers. So use it wherever you like. Just don't say it's yours.
