LightWave 3D - a program for 3D-modeling, animation and special effects, widely used in video production and television production. The program contains a powerful system of polygonal modeling, which also creates based on the surface of the landfill unit. LightWave 10 provides a number of revolutionary new tools for 3D-artists. Improved capability of this program in the field of animation will guide all of your plans to create a professional broadcaster graphics, special effects and photo-realistic animation.
The program brings together more than a thousand animation tools to facilitate and daily work of the artist. The program provides an easy-to-use and high productivity. Easy and intuitive working environment LightWave 3D allows you to create a direct connection between the fiction and the real embodiment.
LightWave 3D is famous for its separation of interface in which the simulation object is in one program, and setting a light, animation and other things - in another. Plus is a non-overloaded interface: the user during the simulation facility is not offered anything other than the modeling tools, but no one now is not the right set for the animation scene, camera settings, light sources, etc. excluded. Similarly, in the process of setting up lighting scenes in a split interface, you can not accidentally get into the editing of the weight maps or points of an object. This system works very effectively, for example, system in which the Modeler is available in a single display, and Layout - in another. The result is actually twice the work space in which item changed in the Modeler, updated automatically and in Layout.
