3D Software
« on: November 24, 2003, 04:29:50 PM »
What about 3D software :-?

There are many available for classic Amiga such as Lightwave, Real3D and Imagine.

Should any of these be converted to the AmigaOne hardware :-?

I personal prefer Real3D, I found it easy to use and the final image of good quality, it would be a shame to have to boot up my A1200 or emulate it to use any of the above. :-(

Great! first time I've actually seen that list! :-)

One question though,.... what is the compliance of gcc with C++. Since I'm an OO/C++ programmer at heart. (ducks sharp objects been thrown:-) )

Cool I`ve never seen that list either.

I`m a Lightwave fan myself. So I`d like to see that back on the Amiga again. Realsoft3D will eventually be ported by Hyperion though. I just hope that comes to something. I`ll settle with that easily. Imagine should be good too. I`ll just have to use prehistoric versions of Lightwave until then.

I never tried Lightwave.

Love Cinema4D though. I'd like to see that make a modern day return.

If I'd got Three choices, they would be:

1.LightWave 3D
2.LightWave 3D
3.LightWave 3D

I'd be a travesty if LightWave didn't come back to its place of birth.

Anyone unfamiliar with LightWave may care to visit the WaveGuide site (click 'WWW' below) for inspiration.

Cheers,

I seriously doubt a Lightwave port will occur for the Amiga One.   First of all though Newtek has done paid ports before (SUN), Amiga Inc has no money so there is no financing for it, and frankly its not in Hyperions interest to fund  it (since they are doing Real 3D) and I dont think Eyetech can/will fund it either.   Its possible that the MorphOS port of Aladdin could be moved over, but there would have to be significant sales of OS 4.0, to convince the principals that its a money making proposition to make the effort worthwhile,

Real3D will be ported for sure, it's a good app. but it will not really impress any pro users, for that you need one of the big four : Softimage, Maya, 3D Studio Max or Lightwave.   The last one originated on the Amiga and it would be great to see it return.  There used to be a time Newtek supported just about every platform available, now they just support Windows and Mac platforms.  In short, I don't see it happen unless the new Amiga's are a BIG success.  One can always hope...
Realistically though Real3D will be the 3D app for now.

Unless the AmigaOne is a big success, unless serious apps like LightWave, etc do eventually get ported over, then the platform will never achieve the global recognition and acceptance everybody around here hopes for. It will undoubtedly take years.

Apps like Real3D, Calligary, Imagine, etc. are never gonna cut it in the big bad 3D word out there. These will obviously be great for Amiga stalwarts, but growth comes from successful competition and the A1 will have to do better than these to really make a difference.

Cheers,

I agree that we need at least one of the big boys,but they have pretty much restricted themselves to Windows and Mac.I don't think it will happen.

Imagine/Real3D won't make it on their current incarnations,but they may be very good low/mid range options(in features and price).

We can't expect the big companies to go crazy and start losing time producing software for a small/unknown market,so we have to be happy with "lesser" programs.

Not everyone needs or is willing to pay for Maya or 3DS Max, so there is a niche for enthusiasts.

My bet is Imagine,which I already use. A specific A1 version would make me drool...
