- LightWave 3D has been used on television shows such as
- seaQuest DSV, Babylon 5, Hercules, and Star Trek: The Next
- Generation, Star Trek: Voyager, Robocop, Viper, Unsolved
- Mysteries, and Weird Science. LightWave is also used by
- tens of thousands of people to create graphics for corporate
- videos, commercials, video games, print graphics and much
- more.
-
- LightWave 3D provides a comfortable, intuitive working
- environment that draws a real-world metaphor between an
- actual soundstage and your personal computer. Within
- LightWave Layout, create dramatic lighting effects,
- photo-realistic surface materials and intricate camera
- movements. Render still images or entire animations in
- 24-bit color.
-
- Create new props with the powerful tools in LightWave
- Modeler. From technical geometric forms to free flowing
- organic shapes, this model shop does it all.
-
- LightWave 3D's new plug-in architecture is supported by
- a growing number of independent developers. This allows
- you to customize LightWave with additional features such
- as gravity, particle systems, image processors and more
- surface materials.
-
- No other 3D package offers this much power and flexibility
- at such an affordable price. From flying logos to broadcast

- choice of professinal 3D artists . . . and everyone else
- who needs professional looking results.
-
- LightWave has one of the largest, established user bases of
- any 3D package, with tens of thousands of systems in place
- today. It has been used on TV shows to produce the final
- special effects shown on air. Babylon 5 won an Emmy for its
- LightWave-produced graphics, and the Video Toaster also won
- an Emmy, due in part to its LightWave 3D system.
