NewTek LightWave 3D 2018.0.1 Build 3064 Win x64

LightWave 3D 2018 - is a complete solution for 3D modeling, rendering and animation. LightWave 3D is widely used in the production of television programs and films, the development of video games, the creation of three-dimensional graphics and print design, LightWave artists have received more Emmy® awards for visual effects and animation than any other CG artists.

In addition, LightWave is designed for use by one artist, a small team or the main object, with seamless integration into various production pipelines.

LightWave ™ 2018 provides you with the workflow and features you've heard about, as well as new interactive tools for working in real time. You get the speed, flexibility and control with which you can create 3D content quickly, easily and easily.
LightWave 3D combines a modern visualizer with powerful, intuitive means of modeling and animation. Tools that can be added in other professional 3D applications are part of the product package, including 999 free cross-platform rendering nodes, support for Windows and Mac OS X operating systems, free technical support, and much more. LightWave is used throughout the world as a full-featured 3D production solution for feature films and television visual effects, translation, printing, visualization, game development and content for the Internet.

New in LightWave 2018:

• Physically Based Rendering System: Completely rewritten rendering, shading and lighting architecture for greater realism, accuracy and ease-of-use
• Render and Light Buffers: Expanded workflow for render and light buffers that simplifies compositing and offers more flexibility, including real-time preview of new buffers in any viewport using VPR, as well as custom buffers using the node editor
• Volumetric Engine and Open VDB Support: Using the new volumetric render primitives, artists can specify physically based properties, Scattering, Absorption and Emission parameters, along with powerful node networks
• Light Capabilities: New lighting architecture brings physical lights that can be optionally visible to the camera, and improved loading of IES web files to better match the intensity of real manufactured lights
• Surface Editor, Material Nodes and Surface Preview: The Surface Editor has been overhauled for the new shading system with powerful node-based materials that are presented with a familiar interface
• Virtual Reality Camera: Includes both cylindrical and spherical modes for creating stereo 360-degree renders and animations for VR applications
• Modifier Stack with New Deformation Nodes: Unlocks and simplifies the previously fixed order of operations for Bones, Morphs, Subdivision and Displacements with the ability to drag and drop to re-order mesh deformations interactively
• Cel Shader and Enhanced Edge Rendering: Offers flexible non photoreal render control over material shading and allows gradient-based cel shading, while Edge Rendering uses any material available in the Surface Editor to shade any line
• More Integrated FiberFX: Expanded to integrated closely with the new lighting and shading system and can use any material on the fibers. Fibers are now generated using the new primitive object architecture
• Layout-based Parametric Shapes: Parametric shapes allow for creation of virtual primitive shapes in Layout that can be displaced, surfaced and rendered without needing any geometry
• Noise Reduction Filter: Speeds up render times by using less Global Illumination rays and samples, while allowing for clean up of the resulting noise using filters instead of increased render settings
• New Modeler Features: Layout View viewport shows the current camera view from Layout. Also new are fully interactive tools including Lattice, Smoothing, Array and Spline Bridge
• Additionally, LightWave 2018 includes new enhancements to the Viewport Preview Renderer (VPR) and introduces many additional new features and improvements such UDIM texture support, more supported presets, FiberFX, Unity 5 support, and more.
