Hi Jance,
We tried setting up Lightwave on OSX with rush a little while ago, but
did not meet with success.
It would seem that the "lswn" executable is a Cocoa/Carbon only
application that cannot be invoked from the BSD subsystem.
Right -- if that's /still/ the case, that's a show stopper
as Rush then can't control it for rendering.. it has to be
a command line oriented tool.. by that, meaning:
o The program can be invoked from the Terminal with options for the scene, frame range, etc
o The program must not open a GUI at all
o The program must not background itself, and return an exit code on completion
o If the command line is killed (^C, SIGKILL, etc) all rendering should stop
o All error messages during rendering go to stdout/error (no GUI dialogs)
Probably first, refer to the [NewTek] folks for enlightenment, as
we know they have this capability under Windows and Linux, IIRC.
If they currently do not have a way to invoke the renderer from a command
line or script similar to the Windows/DOS approach, then definitely appeal
for this in a future release. Until then, there's really no way to realistically
manage rendering from scripts using their current technique.
