Re: Viper MkII render
awesome stuff ! Was that done on a real Amiga? If so what type/spec and how long did it take to render?

Re: Viper MkII render
Hi! I did it on my A1200 + 060 with 256MB RAM. Conversion was from LW7 which was backwards compatible to LW5.
Really difficult to get all textures sit where they should, but doable.
If you want to play with it, it is on Aminet, here: http://aminet.net/pix/3dobj/lw_ViperMk2.lha
Here you can watch a video I made to celebrate the conversion:

Have fun!

Re: Viper MkII render
Cool was it rendered in ham mode or rtg? What was the resolution?

Re: Viper MkII render
Hi Jay22,
I think I had turned Render Display off to save time since it was non-standard res, it just saved the image in a 24-bit format. But I run LW on my A1200 with Ham8 for previewing purposes. No RTG.

Re: Viper MkII render
I rendered a scene of animation in a custom size 1024 x 740 in ham 8, but after the scene was animated I was left with a blackscreen. All the frames of animation are still there. The scene renders fine with the chosen resolutions that lightwave has to offer. I suppose I could save all frames as a 24bit image and try to convert to an animation if that's possible?

Re: Viper MkII render
I am not sure if Ham8 can support resolutions higher than 752 * 576, but I could be wrong.Jay22 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 15, 2020 8:49 am I rendered a scene of animation in a custom size 1024 x 740 in ham 8, but after the scene was animated I was left with a blackscreen.

Try compiling the anim from the frames with Animlab or ADPro and see how that goes.
Otherwise you could for example feed the frames back to LW via Load Sequence, then Compositing and choose the sequence as Background, followed by lower camera resolution e.g. 640*512,and re-render for a lower and more playable resolution in standard 680XX amigas.
I would really love to hear how Vampire v4 does with playing higher res anims! (Thinking of buying an v2 for my other A1200)

Re: Viper MkII render
Thanks I will try that, i have been using the v4 and lightwave for the last few days it's definitely quicker at playing ham8 in hires than my 060. But there's a few bugs they need to iron out on the v4, with the aga/saga chipset and trimmings ect. But it gets better with each update. The v2 uses the amigas on board aga, but you get 6080 and rtg. But your are always limited in performance by the a1200 bus speed. So not sure how quick it will be at playing ham8 in hires.
