Before a core is released many things are tested and some are very time consuming like Lightwave 3D.
Worse is when Biggun says he has something to test and I have to stop the rendering...Meh! :-)

(I like to call it the Quake Enabler Scene... :-P)

Thanks for sharing :)

Out of curiosity, how does the rendering performance (time spent) compare with other legacy hardware setups? Lightwave isnt optimized for Apollo core instructions, so I assume there is unreleased potential with regards to rendering overall.

Just saw your nice video Pedro.
I noticed that you used a A500 core 2.9 x12!!
Why is this core not publicly available? :(

Nothing special about this one. Or better, this one is special as LW was crashing at rendering with AntiAliasing set to Medium before Core Gold 2.11.
  It renders without crashing now.
