![]() It´s been very clear that they seem to struggle a lot since a long time ago to get enough good developers…and this release doesn´t change that perception I have, it just makes the impression more obvious. My lightwave 2019.1.5 will still be very capable for many task should I need it. That said, I will still Use Lightwave from time to time for some projects, and some modeling tasks I find it easier and faster to do with Lightwave, and I still prefer some volumetrics in there and all the fractal textures I got available…but the time spent in Lightwave I reckon will be less and less. So…from now on, I think I will defintely focus much more on blender…probably also houdini. No proper UI overhaul, and no CPU implementation or any other seemingly drasticly faster rendering. I got lw 10 and up and with core, til Lightwave 2015.3…when I skipped 2018…only to buy in on 2019.īut now…skipping the 2020 release, and will probably not upgrade ever unless the modeling is there in layout and unless the renderspeed drasticly increases.Īnd the features was of very little interest for me…and again, nothing really indicating of model enhancements in layout, or in modeler for that matter. Yes, I am skipping to upgrade, too expensive with vat included that will be 685 USD. But the majority of the 3D world expects it going in. Those still around are OK with 3 and 4 and even in some ways praise it. Those are the two things that caused people to leave. So that means that in 11 years since 2009 they have not delivered 3 and 4. What they have delivered since 2015 is 1) and 2). And worse a promise they will never talk about any development plans at all. And since 2016 or so we have not heard anything at all about them. Those who stayed, did so because of 2) and the promise of 1,3,and 4.ġ,3 and 4 were the absolute must fixes. People started leaving in a large way at that point because of 1,3, and 4.
