For use with Windows NT, Use the DOS "subst" command at a command prompt to
setup a virtual drive that points to the hummer directory. It should look
something like this:

subst X: Q:\Gifts\hummer

To run the Amiga version, you will have to specify Amiga pathmames for
the images that are called out for the image mapped surfaces.

Frame #1 of this scene has been used as a benchmark to test LightWave
rendering speed in a typical application. Just load up the scene and hit
F10 to render it. Some render times from various systems are tabulated
below.

      "Full Metal Hummer", created by Joe Dox of Galaxy Video & Animations.
      Using simple geometric formulas, realistic wheel rotation and vehicle
      velocity is achieved to create realism in the vehicles movement. See
      the February '95 issue of LightWave-PRO for a complete write-up on
      this scene. Contact Galaxy Video & Animations at (508) 535-8787.
