Unlike other software packages, LightWave offers artists and studios a complete end-to-end solution right out of the box. Robust polygonal and subdivision surface modeling. Splendid PBR texturing tools, with powerful dedicated material shaders. Powerful animation and rigging tools. Eye-popping volumetric and dynamic effects systems. A production proven, award-winning Global Illumination render engine - built in. You decide what workflow or pipeline suits you best and LightWave puts all of the tools in your hands.
LightWave has been the choice of countless studios and artists for over 25 years. Chances are LightWave was used to create many of your favorite films, television programs, and games.
