Quote - More asncient trivia:

"Lightwave was the progeny of two former Amiga programs, Videoscape 3D and Modeler 3D, both from a company called Aegis"

Which sounds like it may well have been the same folks who created the Aegis Animator I had and that was also available on the Amiga.

and:

[Videoscape file format] "It is now used by Blender for importing/exporting meshes in text format."

So these old machines, especially the Amiga, were an important part of the history of modern 3D.
 

It was a marvelous machine, the Amiga.  Mine was shoehorned into a PC case with a 68030 accelerator (processor not graphics) a massive 60mb hard drive and a whole 512kb of ram.

Don't get me started on how briliant the OS was :) sighs gold old Workbench.
