When did you see LightWave
for the first time?
It was in 1993. I was a member
of an Amiga user group and we wrote to Newtek
to ask them to make a standalone version of LightWave.
As you know, back then, LightWave was part of
the Video Toaster and limited to the NTSC market.
While waiting for a reply, I played with LightWave
3.0 (via "LightRave" which emulated the Toaster).
When did you start to use
LightWave?
As soon as it was available
without the Toaster, on the Amiga. It was version
3.5 in 1994.
What do you like about the
program?
Above all, I love modelling
in LightWave. Subpatches offer the user great
freedom for all things organic and Modeler is
really pleasant to use once well configured. Even
when I was working with Softimage, I would use
LightWave to make certain models.
For you, what is the best
tool in LightWave?
On the rendering side, I'm
still really impressed with the possibilities
offered by HyperVoxels, above all Sprite Mode
which renders very fast. On the animation side,
I love Motion Mixer.
