- Rich Helvey, Access Hollywood
- “LightWave® is fast enough to handle our nightmare 4-hour deadlines, flexible enough to let me create whatever I need, and it just looks fantastic. It flat out just works.”
- John Gross, Eden FX
Smallville, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Enterprise
- “The number one most useful feature of LightWave® is the ease of use and the speed at which we can turn out work. The features...that have helped our productivity the most are character animation tools, Graph Editor, and the new slew of modeling capabilities. What I like best about LightWave® is that it feels right. It’s not arcane science and command lines, but more like a real studio.” Read More in the
- In the fast-paced world of broadcast production the job has to be done on time, within budget, and look exactly right. “Pick two” is not acceptable to clients. VT and LightWave 3D provide amazing ease of use, flexible power, speedy workflow, and incredible quality output to make sure you deliver three out of three of these absolute requirements for broadcast graphics.

- Included at no extra charge is the power of Aura Video Paint and LightWave 3D. This means you are now armed with a graphics creation station unlike anything else seen before. VT’s multi-format, real-time performance puts the priority where it matters: meeting deadlines with a minimum of time. The smart solution for you is clearly VT. Let's let a couple of successful artists tell you more:
- Rich Helvey,
NBC's Access Hollywood
Now a lead animator at NBC’s Access Hollywood for over six years, Rich is using LightWave® for the special effects, animation, and broadcast graphics on the show. He finds that LightWave® [7.5] offers users an easy and flexible toolset with a fast and powerful render engine enabling producers to work smarter and faster to create high quality graphics.
- “The producers here at Access are always throwing something new our way, and we need to be able to dive right in and create any look in a very short amount of time. The LightWave® render engine always feels like it was designed to meet my needs, and the inherent speed of the renderer lets us do things that, quite honestly, we shouldn’t be able to do in the time allowed.”
- “LightWave® is fast enough to handle our nightmare 4-hour deadlines, flexible enough to let me create whatever I need, and it just looks fantastic. It flat out just works.”

- Award-Winning Graphics for Broadcast
Digital Artist Tim Johnson, of KUTV Ch. 2, Salt Lake City, Utah
Tim Johnson's years as a television graphic artist have been highlighted with a regional Emmy for work on a news promotion project, and by sheer enjoyment of the creative challenges of producing graphics that communicate precisely, hold attention, draw interest to exactly the right elements, and put the message across to the audience.
- “I like LightWave for broadcast because of the speed. It’s easy to import a commercial client’s logo (created in Illustrator) directly in Modeler, and crank out a flying logo in little to no time. We can export out in 32-bit files for compositing on another system, or view them directly from LightWave’s framebuffer on our VT. The speed and workflow has been a big time-saver. With less render and setup time, we’re able to focus on what we’re paid to do - being creative. We know what we need to accomplish, and LightWave is the quickest way to do so.”
- Complete capabilities at an affordable price make VT[3] the perfect choice for public and government access television. The live and studio production tools let you easily manage live events such as public meetings, as well as studio recording of shows for later distribution. VT-Edit's easy intuitive interface means that new operators can be trained quickly and inexpensively for public access productions. The SX-8 Switcher option is the most capable, compact and affordable core ever created for a complete and portable multi-camera production operation, able to handle and synchronize up to 24 sources.

- John Davis, DNA Productions
A forty-second short by an animator in Dallas gave birth to an Oscar-nominated CGI movie, the first motion picture to be created entirely in off-the-shelf software.
- “I wanted to try and stay with the core program that we know well and have used for years - LightWave 3D®. We also used the Messiah plug-in for main character work. I've always loved the look of the LightWave® renderer, the fx, and the speed at which you can get things done in the package. We did not have time to develop any proprietary tools (other than a few utilities for assisting our pipeline), nor did I feel we really needed any. Since we had such a small amount of time to produce, I wanted to concentrate on the talent and use powerful yet friendly tools.”
- “...the modeler is just kick-ass. Texturing is also quick and powerful. We also used the heck out of the new HyperVoxels, Volumetrics, and particle system. The show has lots of effects!”
- “From the time I started writing the first draft until we delivered the film - 24 months. This was incredibly fast for an animated feature (normal length for Pixar or PDI is 4 years).”
- John Gross, Eden FX
- John Gross of Eden FX has worked on projects consisting of some of the hottest shows on TV today including, Enterprise, Smallville, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Angel, Star Trek: Voyager, and SeaQuest DSV. John has this to say about LightWave 3D: “The number one most useful feature of LightWave® is the ease of use and the speed at which we can turn out work. The features...that have helped our productivity the most are character animation tools, Graph Editor, and the new slew of modeling capabilities. What I like best about LightWave® is that it feels right. It’s not arcane science and command lines, but more like a real studio.”
- Need to turn a design into an image that lets a client really see what the building will look like, inside and out? Or do you want to make it possible for an online shopper to peek inside the computer they are considering and view it from all sides? NewTek’s LightWave 3D® is your solution. LightWave's fast and flexible Modeler will let you create any object you need quickly and easily, the texturing tools let you give your objects exactly the surface qualities you need and the virtual stage of LightWave's Layout lets you arrange and precisely light your elements, and achieve exactly the look you need at render time, with a fast and flexible workflow.
- Amir Youssef - SWIFT-RENDER
When Amir Youssef of SWIFT-RENDER went looking for a dependable high-end 3D package that ran well on an average desktop he found it in LightWave 3D®. “A friend of mine told me to check out the LightWave® gallery at NewTek.com. I couldn’t believe that these images were created with ‘off the shelf’ software. Right then and there I knew that LightWave® was going to give me what I needed.”
- SWIFT-RENDER is a team of architects, graphic designers and animators in Cairo, Egypt who specialize in architectural presentation. LightWave® gives them confidence that they can make deadlines and wow clients every time. “In our line of work, speed is very important and render quality is equally important. Some packages are very fast but have poor render quality, others are the opposite. But, LightWave® is very fast with very high render quality.”
- Amir says there are many reasons that SWIFT-RENDER uses LightWave 3D®. It is flexible, rich in features and has the power to handle whatever job comes their way. But, one of the most compelling reasons for Amir is the LightWave® community, “Its like a big family. If you’re ever stuck with anything there is always someone willing to help.”
- Lumi•ne•tik
Based in the heart of New York City, Luminetik is a full service 3D graphics and visualization studio. With talent whose backgrounds range from blockbuster visual effects to engineering and architecture, Luminetik offers clients everything from web-based multimedia to photo-real architectural walkthroughs and cutting edge visual effects. While they use a wide variety of tools, Luminetik has decided that LightWave® is the tool of choice for their varied projects.
- Luminetik’s Director of Visual Effects, David Isyoman, has test- driven many 3D packages. Having worked at Digital Domain on movies like “True Lies” and “Titanic” it’s safe to say that he knows the territory when it comes to 3D. David said that he was pleasantly surprised by the quality that LightWave®’s renderer was able to achieve. “I really appreciate the quality of LightWave® and LightWave®’s renders. And actually that’s the end product — if you don’t have a good render, then it doesn’t really matter how hard you work.”
- Recently, Luminetik created some images for Hewlett-Packard’s HP online store. LightWave®’s subdivision surfaces made it easy to create the organic shapes of some of the newer HP products. Luminetik founder and CEO Kevin Cahill says that “LightWave® is definitely the easiest package to work in.” and our modelers prefer LightWave® because “modeling is quick and easy.”
