Re: How many lightwave users here
The only thing i wish Lightwave would embrace is character animation. It seems, even with the release of 10, that they are still miles behind the top packages like Maya for charater stuff. Otherwise i'm with you Mikala. Never could latch onto any other programs including apps like Zbrush. I took a couple weeks with Zbrush but alway's found myself back in lightwave. I guess it's a curse.

Re: How many lightwave users here
ZBrush is my favorite plugin for Lightwave.

Re: How many lightwave users here
Hey there Shaggy.
I love what Blender can do but I simply can't grasp that interface.

mikala, there is an introductory interface video online at cgtuts.com. Look for the poster named Karan Shah. he gives a very good, very thorough introductory video regarding the interface of Blender. After viewing it, I was building stuff in no time. Download the video (likely it will be an .flv file...so make sure you have a media player that can playback flash files), and keep it on hand. Blender's basic interface is actually quite easy to grasp.

Re: How many lightwave users here
Well, I have heard of blender and Lightwave.
I use Cinem4d.
I only began 3d actually like in October 2010.
prior to that I tried blender,sketchup and had a hard time trying to figure them out. was a complete nboob then.
Also tried Gmax originally with Renx, was for game Renegade and even with the quikstart guide manual it failed terribly as a learning guide for new users, though it says that for new users.
C4d is the first I have been able to grasp and understand to an extent.
3ds is the descendant of Gmax which is why I dont even want to try and learn it. it's UI is so confusing to me just as RenX and Gmax was.
Have seen 1 tut for Lightwave and must say it looks unusual.
Got my hands full trying to learn what I got. :-) maybe in future.
in all honesty though I think C4d is a very good and very powerful app.
and that many are adamant users of it.
Modeling aspects am waiting to buy some training on soon.

So much to learn , so little time, and so many ideas with so little knowledge and so much to discover with so many things to try.

I started with Truespace for a few months before I switched to Lightwave
as most of the best models available where in that format ..... mostly Star Trek ..... apart from SteveW Galactica models there where at the time very few good modeller or models around........ I know a few great Truespace modellers now and my opinion of the Program has altered since
But I find lightwave easier from the start until now....... of course I only model now and rarely do any rendering and never animation.....
I think its down to what ever work for you and when you like what you use the product can be great as the results.
I have Tried Blender and found I cannot make the transition to it...

Re: How many lightwave users here
Try Blender..... better option than Truespace as it an ongoing program ,,, Truespace as far as I know is no longer getting updates ......
Its free and is becoming very good from what I have heard and seen

Re: How many lightwave users here
Long time LW user. Have experience in MAX and Maya but love LW the best. (Started with Truespace and then Bryce in 1994). I'm a version behind with LW but considering the upgrade. Not sure as I don't do 3D stuff anymore -- or at least its been dormant.
All my best,
Russell
