LightWave Core Feature List Revealed
Today NewTek revealed the feature list of LightWave CORE publicly that will be released in Q1 2010. I’m very happy that I joined the beta program of CORE back in march/april and have had the privilege to play, have input, and see this new application develop and take shape during the course of 2009. Very…
modo 401 is here! Yey!
I just wanted to share my joy, modo 401 was released today. Woohoo! I’m downloading my update as I type and am very excited to take this new baby for a spin. Thank god that Luxology utilizes BitTorrent for a release like this, otherwise I guess the download would take forever with all the modonauts…
Get Ready – More LightWave Excitement, NewTek Core
LightWave 9.6 has barely left the building (released just 2 days ago), when NewTek drops the next bomb. The excitement builds up at NewTek Core. Guess we’ll soon know more about the next major leap for LightWave. They sure are busy bees over at NewTek these days, and it has never been more interesting and…
It’s here, LightWave 3D 9.6
LightWave 3D 9.6… Woohoo! I just wanted to add a quick shout that version 9.6 has been released today and is available for download over at NewTek.

LightWave 3D 10 – Top Ten Wish List
LightWave 3D 9.5 was just released. An excellent update to the current LightWave cycle, which I am extremely pleased with. And with the promised hotfix/service release (9.5.1 maybe?), that should arrive shortly, fixing the minor things that didn’t make it to the Siggraph release (which I hope includes fixes for the FBX bone export and…
LightWave 3D 9.5 Released
Siggraph is over for this year, and as always there’s been plenty of announcements and releases within our industry this week. Vue 7 and ZBrush 3.5 was announced and I’m looking forward to further information about these releases, especially the new ZBrush release, which I suspect will be awesome, once again! The new Mudbox version…

ZBrush 3 is here!
The development phase has been going on for years and what originally was supposed to be ZBrush 2.5 now finally hit the streets as a more significant upgrade, and got the 3.0 extension instead. Pixologic has worked hard on this update and it has been well worth the wait! Woohoo!
I just got my upgrade link…
The power of the sphere
A very interesting site surfaced the other week, dedicated to the sphere. Check out the site over at CGSphere.
“Sphere: [sfeer, noun] a space or solid enclosed by a surface, all points of which are equidistant from the center. – The Penguin Concise English Dictionary
The sphere is arguably one of the most basic and fundamental primitives…
Finally, there is a CG Society!
CGNetworks recently took the initiative to form a CGSociety. Of course I’m fully supporting this great step and am a member of this society.
“The CGSociety is for creative digital artists. This is artists that uses computers to tell a visual story. No matter what the format or scope, from a still image to a complete…
