Interpolated Soft Reflections/Refractions for Node-base surfacing.Lighting, Rendering and Surfacing Enhancements The LightWave OBJ I/O plug-in now provides extended import capability for this file type. This greatly improves compatibility with other 3D applications, as you can now seamlessly transfer meshes, rigs, materials and animation information. LightWave v9.5 allows the import and export of FBX and Collada scenes and objects. Also available are new size-selectable spherical lights and dome lights. IES lights have been added with a thumbnail preview of the luminaire with other information and controls. The lighting system is now a plug-in API, allowing third parties to create custom lights and lighting plug-ins. It also adds a “stretchy bones” capability to LightWave. Adding to LightWave’s z-axis bones, artists now have joint-type bones, which is more familiar for users of other programs with joint-based metaphors. LightWave v9.5’s IK and animation system includes numerous improved character animation controls.

LightWave radiosity can now be rendered at reduced resolution and applied to the full size final render, providing a higher quality output with even faster render times, a huge benefit for today’s time-pressured production environment. Both types allow the user to pre-render the cache and apply the solution when doing the full scene render ‘ either locally or across a render farm. Also, there are new disk-based caches for radiosity: the Static Cache, for animations where only the camera moves and the Animated Cache, where any element of the scene can move. LightWave v9.5 also offers improved rendering quality and speed, with major upgrades to the radiosity sampling system and interpolated modes. It provides artists with a full suite of tools to model and style each fiber, create volumetric shadows, render-in reflection and refraction and more. With this new version, the LightWave community is experiencing a renaissance.”Ī highlight of LightWave v9.5 is FiberFX, a proprietary polygonal fiber modeler for creating realistic hair, fur and feathers. “LightWave is the application choice of Emmy ® winners, and is seeing increasing use in feature film projects. Customer feedback has been positive,” said Jay Roth, president of 3D division, NewTek. “With so many features and enhancements in LightWave v9.5, users suggested that we could release it as v10.
