On February 4, 2009, NewTek announced 'LightWave CORE' its next-generation 3D application via a streamed live presentation to 3D artists around the world.

#LIGHTWAVE 3D 7.5 UPDATE#

NewTek shipped a 64-bit version of LightWave 3D as part of the fifth free update of LightWave 3D 8, and was featured in a keynote speech by Bill Gates at WinHEC 2005. In its ninth version, the market for LightWave ranges from hobbyists to high-end deployment in video games, television and cinema. It was animated entirely in LightWave 3D 7.5 and 8.0.

In 2007, the first feature film to be 3D animated entirely by one person made its debut, Flatland the Film by Ladd Ehlinger Jr. The film Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius was made entirely in LightWave 6 and messiah:Studio. In the Finnish Star Trek parody Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning, most of the visual effects were done in LightWave by Finnish filmmaker Samuli Torssonen, who produced the VFX work for the feature film Iron Sky. The short film 405 was produced by two artists from their homes using LightWave. The program was also utilized in the production of Titanic as well as Avatar, Sin City, and 300. LightWave was used to create special effects for the television series Babylon 5, Star Trek: Voyager, Space: Above and Beyond, seaQuest DSV, Lost, and Battlestar Galactica. Versions were soon released for the DEC Alpha, Silicon Graphics (SGI), and Macintosh platforms. Shortly after the release of the first PC version, NewTek discontinued the Amiga version, citing the platform's uncertain future. The last known standalone revision for the Amiga was LightWave 5.0, released in 1995.

#LIGHTWAVE 3D 7.5 MAC OS X#

Starting with the release of version 9.3, the Mac OS X version has been updated to be a Universal Binary. LightWave 3D has been available as a standalone application since 1994, and version 9.3 runs on both Mac OS X and Windows platforms. In 1990, the Video Toaster suite was released, incorporating LightWave 3D, and running on the Commodore Amiga computer. Originally intended to be called 'NewTek 3D Animation System for the Amiga', Hastings later came up with the name 'LightWave 3D', inspired by two contemporary high-end 3D packages: Intelligent Light and Wavefront. NewTek planned to incorporate VideoScape and Modeler into its video editing suite, Video Toaster. The suggested retail price is US$1,595.In 1988, Allen Hastings created a rendering and animation program called VideoScape 3D, and his friend Stuart Ferguson created a complementary 3D modeling program called Modeler, both sold by Aegis Software.

#LIGHTWAVE 3D 7.5 FOR MAC#

NewTek ships LightWave 7.5 in various flavors for Mac OS, Mac OS X and Windows. Multiple render buffers are saved out in layered Photoshop format, too.

Virtual Darkroom 2.0 adds grain and realistic light response to renders, sports a simplified interface, and more than 20 presets.

The software sports new Multiple Bounce Radiosity solutions, while Matte Objects and alpha properties makes it easier to do special compositing without altering object surface properties. LightWave 7.5’s rendering capabilities get a makeover too. And Luxigons attach lights to polygon objects in the modeler, making it possible to create models that carry their own lighting rigs. Per-light object exclusion is new to this build - it lets you set lights to affect only certain objects, according to NewTek. New lighting effects have been added Colored Shadows, for example, can be used to create tinted, less intense shadows adjustable on a per-light basis. And other performance boosts provide users with greater responsiveness in inverse kinematics, bone deformation, and more. X-Ray mode lets you look at the skeletal structure of your character in a solid shaded OpenGL mode. LightWave 7.5 makes some changes to the way that character animation tools work, too - Motion Mixer 2.0 sports a new interface, new motion weighting, and new blending features.
