  3dc2max.zip (6,446 bytes)
       3DC2MAX is a plugin for 3D Studio MAX that hyperlinks the models
       on 3D Cafe into MAX by launching your browser and directing it to
       the proper URL. 3DC2MAX's default browser is Netscape but can
       easily be configured to launch any browser by simply placing the
       correct path within the INI file. After installing 3DC2MAX, a
       selection will appear under the Utilities Menu. Simply click on
       "Download Mesh" and MAX will automatically load the meshes page of
       3D Cafe. Note that you need to be logged onto the Internet for
       this plugin to work. Distribute freely. (Revised version)

       This application is a must for anyone who wants to manage large
       numbers of mesh files or who is using a CD-ROM with clip-objects.
       Note: This release allows the browser to read PRJ files and .3DS
       files created using the 'Save selected' command. You'll have to
       take our word on this as the demo version only reads a few select
       files in the meshes directory that were supplied with 3DS R4.

  ntavi(2).zip (Alpha 48,986 bytes)
       NewTek-AVI. A revised version of the NewTek AVI animation saver
       plugin for Windows LightWave. This version fixes bugs and adds AVI
       keyframe and data rate control, automatic playback rate based on
       scene settings, and borderless saving of limited regions. Works
       with LightWave 4.0 and 5.0 under Windows 95 and NT.

  qv(1).zip (Intel 17,190 bytes)
  qv(2).zip (Alpha 54,190 bytes)
       QV, a Windows LightWave plugin, replaces the full-size window
       render display. It's fast, it uses error diffusion dithering on
       256-color displays, and it allows you to save the frame it's
       displaying or copy it to the clipboard.
       -------------------------------------------------------------------
  dofty(1).zip (Intel 31,659 bytes)
  dofty(2).zip (Alpha 75,851 bytes)
       Depth of Field Toy is a LightWave plugin that allows you to play
       with different Depth of Field settings and see how they're related
       to one another. There are 7 parameters in LightWave's Depth of
       Field system. 4 of them are settings you enter on the Camera panel
       (Focal Distance, F-Stop, Zoom Factor, Film Size). 2 others, the
       near and far focus planes, describe the minimum and maximum
       distances at which subjects appear to be in focus, and the 7th,
       the circle of confusion diameter, is a subjective limit on the
       amount of fuzziness that can be tolerated before the viewer begins
       to think the image is out of focus. DOF Toy lets you move a slider
       for one of these parameters and see interactively how it affects
       the others.
       -------------------------------------------------------------------
  spiral.zip (Intel 22,211 bytes)
  spiral2.zip (Alpha 49,378 bytes)
       Spiral is a spiral path generator for use in Modeler. You can use
       it to make springs, shells, etc.
       -------------------------------------------------------------------
  pcx(1).zip (Intel 16,829 bytes)
  pcx(2).zip (Alpha 54,171 bytes)
       PCX Loader/Saver is a LightWave plugin for loading and saving
       ZSoft PCX files. It loads type 2 (EGA, 16-color palette) and type
       5 (VGA) and saves type 5. Images with 8 or fewer bits will be
       stored in LightWave as 8-bit images, not 24-bit as with HIIP.
       Currently the only format that does this is IFF.
       -------------------------------------------------------------------
  vdem(1).zip (Intel 16,595 bytes)
  vdem(2).lha (Amiga 11,877 bytes)
       Vdem is a stand alone program that converts Vistapro binary DEM
       files into STM files for use with Marvin Landis's DEMScape plugin
       for LightWave Modeler. DEMScape accepts both STM and USGS ASCII
       DEMs as input, but not the proprietary Vistapro DEM format.
       Vistapro is a product of Virtual Reality Laboratories, Inc.

       distribution among 3D Studio users. Note: Release 13's 3DSOUT
       command generates 3DS files, but that doesn't help you much when
       you want to take a 2D elevation into the 2D Shaper so you can turn
       into a facade. In that case you have to convert the .DWG to a .DXF
       file 3DS can read.
