Check out NewTek’s latest version of its Emmy award-winning, professional 3D modelling, animation, and rendering software
Last November NewTek announced LightWave 11. It was due out at the end of last year, but here it is after a couple of months of bugfixing.
LightWave 11 incorporates many new features, such as instancing, flocking and fracturing tools, flexible Bullet Dynamics, ZBrush support, and much more.
Mikael Burman, technical supervisor at Massive, a Ubisoft Studio based in Sweden, says, “Our cinematics team works in a mixed 3D pipeline most of the time, and the updated I/O tools in LightWave 11 (FBX and MDD/GeoCache), combined with the new Unified sampling; colorspace-aware Adaptive sampling; and updated shaders, such as the reflection blur; allows me and my team to deliver fast, artistic, and adaptable content,” Burman explained. “LightWave 11 continues to improve and make our work more creative and enjoyable.”
LightWave 11 is now available for the retail price of $1,495. Upgrade pricing from earlier versions of LightWave is $695. Educational pricing is also available.
