The LightWave Advantage
Created by artists for artists, LightWave 3D is intuitive, award-winning software that offers an end-to-end production pipeline for artists and designers to model, animate, capture, retarget, render, and input and output to 3D, including 3D printing.
With the various features of LightWave 2015, artists can take control of dynamic simulations with new Bullet constraint types such as Point-to-Point, Hinge, Slider, Cone Twist, Spring and six degrees of freedom (DOF). Use Importance Sampling to greatly improve the quality of scenes lit by GI and HDR images or background lighting. Match plates, simply place, or sync objects in photographs with the Match Perspective tool. Take advantage of the Genoma 2 Character Rigging System, a rapid modular rigging system that at its base level is a complete rigging development kit (RDK) to quickly rig characters for animation without the need to set up complex rigs from scratch. It also supports the use of Math Expressions and Scripts and includes new and improved human, feline, and arthropod preset rigs.
LightWave 2015 includes Edge Rendering, Patch Border Rendering, Edge Buffering, 64-bit QuickTime Support, as well as new enhancements to the Viewport Preview Renderer (VPR). It also introduces many new features and improvements such as Interactive Dynamic Parenting, Textured Falloffs in Modeler, Fiber FX, GoZ Multi-tool and Unity 5 support, and more.
