Here is a bit more on LW8 and hard bodies. This is a quote from Lee Stranahan on Newtek's board:
LightWave 8 will include improved soft body dynamics and rigid body dynamics. They won't be a light version of anything, but will instead be full and expanded versions of Daisuke Ino's plug-ins such as FX Break. A lot more details, soon - but that's not the big news, really.
The big news - or part of it - is that Daisuke Ino is now a full fledged member of the LW Development team. That means that LightWave users will get immediate benefits of robust, working software as well as more innovation and integration down the road.
...
LightWave[8] includes the full feature set (and more) of expanded particles, soft bodies, and adds rigid bodies...all from the same author of the current set of tools, and with trunkfuls of upgrades still to come.
