![]() So…from now on, I think I will defintely focus much more on blender…probably also houdini. No proper UI overhaul, and no CPU implementation or any other seemingly drasticly faster rendering. I got lw 10 and up and with core, til Lightwave 2015.3…when I skipped 2018…only to buy in on 2019.īut now…skipping the 2020 release, and will probably not upgrade ever unless the modeling is there in layout and unless the renderspeed drasticly increases.Īnd the features was of very little interest for me…and again, nothing really indicating of model enhancements in layout, or in modeler for that matter. Yes, I am skipping to upgrade, too expensive with vat included that will be 685 USD. But the majority of the 3D world expects it going in. Those still around are OK with 3 and 4 and even in some ways praise it. ![]() Those are the two things that caused people to leave. So that means that in 11 years since 2009 they have not delivered 3 and 4. What they have delivered since 2015 is 1) and 2). And worse a promise they will never talk about any development plans at all. And since 2016 or so we have not heard anything at all about them. Those who stayed, did so because of 2) and the promise of 1,3,and 4.ġ,3 and 4 were the absolute must fixes. People started leaving in a large way at that point because of 1,3, and 4. A new animation and rigging system (which required 3 first).A new Geometry Engine - which makes sense to also add….It is great stuff.īut lets turn the history machine back to 2009. If you are using LightWave and getting along fine. That was basically the new geometry and render engines.Īnd since then, they have only released small enhancements and features to what was 2018. If we turn back the history machine to the last blog entries from Rob Powers about what they were working on and promising, it illuminates the fact that 2018 delivered only a bare bones start to those promises. Well, I would not consider it thin if it was not for the fact that it is still the same old LightWave, which needs so many fundamental changes.īut to the point, it is over 2 years now since the release of 2018 which was the first release after a year or more of darkness.
