Overview:

- Lightwave 3D 5.0 Layout and Modeler Plugins I build
  from sources I found on the net.
  Initially made for intel, mac or sgi machines, running Lightwave.

  They have been build with sas/c 6.59 and the LW SDK 5.x

  Some were provided in C++ and had to be transformed to C,
  since they did not compile or did not work at all, when building
  from the C++ source code.

  Many thanks to alkis on the EAB board.

  Some plugins came without source code, were build already for
  the Amiga version of Lightwave. I've added them too.
  
- Content:

  - Build from source code:
  
	- Layout Plugins:
	
	  Bman-RGBShift
	  Bman-Fresnel Shader
	  Bman-Blinker Shader 
	  Bman-AlphaClip
	  Bman-InfraredVision
	  Bman-Mandel
	  Bman-Gradient
	  Bman-Gooze
	  Kevman VidLines
	  Kevman Lampy
	  Kevman ImProc
	  Kevman Vmixer
	  Kevman Vhud
	  Fader Shader - based on Bman-Blinker
	  Fader Shader 2 WIP - based on Bman-Blinker
	  BlotchGUI
	  ObjectTest

	- Modeler Plugins:
	
	  DEMScape (incl. vdem2stm.lha converter)
	  DEMShade
	  PointPlane
	  SpiralPath
	  ParticleClone
	  Absolute
	  AreaVolume	
	  Gears
	  PointSpread
	  Rotate
	  Scale
	  Bubbles
	
  - already build for the Amiga:
	
	DBP - Distance Between Points - Modeler
	BBox - Bounding Box - Modeler
	Taut - Modeler
	Unwrap - Modeler
	BlackAndWhite - Layout
	DofToy - Layout Generic


- Additional information:
    - Fader Shader (2) is an attempt by myself, to make those surface
      attributes animate over time, instead of just blinking.
	- some Modeler plugins were rewritten in C, based on arexx macros.

- Installation:
	- you have to add the #?.p files either in Layout or Modeler:
		Layout --> Options tab --> Add Plug-Ins
		Modeler -> Objects tab --> Custom --> Add Plugin
		
	- after adding a plugin(s) quit Modeler or Layout,
	  so the plugin info is written to the config file.
	  do this before you open a new scene or object.

- Tutorial - How to write your own plugin:

  The.Art.of.LW.Plugins.pdf
  LWPanelService-Arnie.Cachelin.pdf
  
  - I made a pdf of the website and included it in this release.
	gradient.cpp tutorial source code is also included.
	LWPanelService documentation by Arnie.Cachelin included.

  (use www.archive.org to see the original website)

- Lightwave SDK:
  - I have included the SDK 5.0, so you can (re)build plugins on your own.

- Authors of the Plugins:
  - Brenden Mecleary - Bman, Kevin Phillips - Kevman, Bryan Ewert,
    Marvin Landis, Ernie Wright, Bob Hood, Prem Subrahmanyam,
	Matthew Sorrels.
	I hope I did not forgot anyone.
	
- Thanks goes to all the authors for providing their plugins
  including source code.
  Not to forget the webarchive - www.archive.org - for preserving all
  those valuable websites and often including content.
