- I've used Imagine4.0 and Lightwave4.0 and I have to opt for Lightwave for
- the best 3D animation package.
-
- Imagine's cryptic user interface alone is something to make you run to LW.
- I like Lightwave approach to modeling no to mention the new plug-ins and
- layout is setup like a soundstage: lighting, camera, "actors" objects.
- plus the fact you can rotoscope recorded video, or other animations.
- and bones, and inverse kinetics plus again the plug-ins, like the new
- cybergraphics plug-in.
-
- I guess in the long run for price to performance and high-quality animations,
- Lightwave 3D is a very powerful program, so if you have to choose which one,
- IMHO it's Lightwave.
