The CORE technology has always been interesting, but difficult to work with.  Due to some recent changes in the architecture, it loooks like it may be coming back in the next version of LightWave to subscribers of the HardCORE programme.

“Rather than create a re-branded, new product in a separate package, which considering the constant evolution of technology, could take months or even years,” explained Powers, “we plan to implement the CORE technology advancements directly into LightWave itself, in an iterative fashion. We are aware that re-writes and updates to the underlying architecture for LightWave will be necessary to accommodate the advanced features that CORE technology represents, and we are confident that these re-writes are possible.”
