» LightWave 3D :: Model, Animate, Render

Looking for a 3D animation system? There are many out there, from super simple to those built for rocket scientists, but what you need is a program that works the way you do. Smart and efficient. A program that's intuitive and responsive. Powerful enough to tackle any job, yet simple enough to be mastered by a single artist. You'll find LightWave is the most complete and robust 3D system right out of the box anywhere at any price. It is a thriving, dynamic system, ever evolving to meet the needs of our users. We work closely on a day-to-day basis with LightWave artists so that we know exactly what you are trying to accomplish. The LightWave renderer is first class, best in show and infinitely easier to set up and use than any other, not to mention the fact that unlimited render nodes are free! We take great pride in the fact that LightWave artists have won more Emmy Awards than those using any other package. We are proud of the fact that our user community is the most passionate, most active and most helpful in the industry. LightWave is more than a 3D program, it is a business, it is an art form, it is a film, it is a game, it is realistic, it is cartoonish, it is moving, it is still... it is whatever you make of it. LightWave is well established as a 3D workhorse. Its native rendered is unparalleled and serves as the centerpiece in the production pipeling of many facilities both large and small. Render nodes are free and set up is quite straightforward. LightWave Modeler excels both as a subdivision surface and a polygonal modeler, fast, efficient and again, straightforward in functionality. In addition, an industry leading node-based texturing and shading system allows you to create any look you desire - quickly and easily. For the individual artist, or artists working in small groups: LightWave is your entry point into a whole new world. You get a ton of cool and useful features right out of the box that puts the competition to shame. No "unlimited" this or "advanced" that, no up sell and no extras. Everything you need is in the box when you buy. Of course, there are many cool third-party add-on products available, some freebies, and some not, but the point is, you can get a long way before you may need any. And, with free render nodes, LightWave grows with your business, and you. For the studio pipeline: LightWave has long been a mainstay in production studios, creating fantastic effects for major blockbuster movies, such as 300, The Guardian, The Da Vinci Code, Pan's Labyrinth and The Aviator, to name a few. LightWave works along side other 3D applications and compositing programs to help produce results in the studio pipeline. LightWave's open formats make integration into the pipeline a straightforward process. In television, LightWave leads the way with shows such as CSI: Miami, CSI: NY, Battlestar Galactica, Drive and many others. Here too, LightWave integrates into the pipeline, delivering fantastic results much more quickly than any other solution. Many projects have long been rendered, in whole or in part, and with the improvements in the latest version, this trend is accelerating. That, and effectively unlimited free render nodes, makes this possible. Try pricing out your budget with more than 10 render nodes, and you will see what we mean!
