LightWave 3D is versatile enough to make the transition to and from all kinds of projects. Proven for years in television, film, and games, LightWave 3D is also being used to create graphics for print, web, industrial design, architecture, medical imaging, and anywhere else a 3D package is needed. A full, robust program, LightWave 3D includes many of the tools that other packages require to be purchased separately. Soft-body dynamics, particles, hair and fur, plus unlimited render nodes, to name a few; LightWave 3D ships with all the tools an artist needs to create.

LightWave 9 includes an integrated Node Editor to create complex shading networks or shader trees. Using new and improved LightWave shaders, the Node Editor allows the user to connect parameters of various shaders and operators together to create powerful shaders without any user coding required. Not just a face lift, the Node Editor is a completely new method of working with materials, which provides an order of magnitude more capability than LightWave's surface and material edit system previously offered.

The Node Editor also takes LightWave to a new level of flexibility in rendering. Until now, LightWave's renderer has used only the Blinn shading model with Lambert diffusion, but with version 9 now offers several additional shading models to choose from, including Phong, Cook-Torrance, Oren-Nayar, and new implementations of Blinn and Lambert. We've also added Anisotropic and SubSurface Scattering (SSS) shaders to the mix. These new shading models and functionality bring artists a greatly expanded range of control over the final look of the render, making it easier than ever for LightWave to provide precisely the look you want at render time.
