This is great news. We would love to see the changes to the script when you
are done Greg. If my information is correct you also get 999 free render
nodes.

|Subject: Lightwave 9.3 + Mac can now render through rush..?
|
|[posted to rush.general]
|
|For a long time Lightwave wouldn't work with Rush on the Mac,
|due to its unusual command line tool behavior.
|
|Looks like in 9.3 (currently on their website) it seems they made
|a /real/ command line tool now.
|
|I've just been doing some initial tests that look promising with
|their newest release.
|
|Will follow up here with details on the simple modifications needed
|for the submit script.
|
|Here's a successful log from a Lightwave 9.3 render on an OSX machine:
