Someday, you might not need to render,
as processors and video cards become increasingly powerful. For now, though,
LightWave still has to render, just like any other 3D application. But you??™ll find that the
rendering engine inside LightWave is one of the best around. It??™s strong and stable, and
most importantly, it produces beautifully rendered images.
NewTek has added many OpenGL enhancements. These speed up your workflow and give
the poor F9 (Render Current Frame) key a break.Work through the exercises in this book
and make your own animations anytime you can. You can??™t be in front of your computer
24 hours a day??”well, maybe you can, but you shouldn??™t. Try going out to a movie, too!
When you get ready to take a break, set up a render.Don??™t just wait until the animation is
???perfect.??? Render often and see how your animation looks. You might find new ways to
enhance it and make it even better. Or you might just find that it??™s perfect the way it is.
Now, if they only had a way to do LightWave while driving to work??¦
Network Rendering
LightWave enables you to render over a network of computers, not just the individual
machine on which you??™re working.
