Another software announcement the week before SIGGRAPH, this time NewTek has announced the immediate availability of LightWave 10.1 boasting a new Viewport Preview Rendering and lots of new stereoscopic camera features. In addition, they’ve got a big new customer to talk about in Steven Spielberg’s ‘Terra Nova”.
“We’re using LightWave 10.1 for everything – from lighting and shading, to working on material from other pieces of software, as well as just producing everything in it – from start to finish,” explained John F. K. Parenteau, managing producer at Pixomondo Los Angeles. Pixomondo is currently using LightWave in the creation of Steven Spielberg’s new TV series Terra Nova, slated to premiere this fall. “LightWave provides a very fast turnaround for us. It has become a great tool, particularly with its new capabilities,” said Parenteau.
