LightWave 8.2 |
 |
November 17, 2004
To all you dedicated LightWavers:
When I accepted the job as 3D Project Manager at NewTek a couple of months ago, I made a couple of forum posts and told you I was going to do my best to implement changes. Among these would be:
- LightWave development would have a more open line of communication with you, our users.
- We would listen and do everything in our power to provide you with the tools you need to do your jobs better and faster.
- We would look at all aspects of the code for improvement, including deep core changes.
- Advances and fixes to LightWave would be steady and made available to you more often.
I said it then and I’ll say it now: good, solid development and putting the processes in place that make it possible take time. With that in mind, I am very happy to report that we are nearing completion on the first new Feature Update public release of LightWave [8], version 8.2. This new version of LightWave includes some fundamental changes in how things are handled within the code; some of these are issues that have existed in LightWave for years and have now been resolved.

November 12, 2004
Area 51 FX relied on Emmy®-winning LightWave 3D® to create their portions of the epic storms and destruction in the new CBS mini-series, Category 6: Day of Destruction. In the mini-series, which is to be broadcast in two parts on Sunday, November 14 and Wednesday, November 17, three weather systems collide over Chicago to form the largest super-storm in the nation's history. Area 51 created 115 effects shots for the mini-series in an incredibly short production schedule of just a few months – a feat that Area 51's artists feel they can attribute to the productivity they can achieve using LightWave®.
