BTW looks like you guys have hit a winning formula with the forums on both this and the Maya site. They are both looking amazing and are very usable to boot.
Anyway, good luck fellas. Shilts |

Actually, I'm a bit stuck at the moment. I am still learning Maya but after seeing all the images that can be created with Lightwave I have long been looking at a way to get into using it.
So...how does Lightwave stack up against Maya??? Is it better at rendering but not anywhere near as powerful at animation? Is it worth me learning both?? Anyone? Shilts |

I have a seat of both and you can't just say one's better than the other...
LW's renderer is awesome, right up there with the best. As is LW's modeler; fast, intuitive (once you got used to it) and prepped with about everything you will need, 'cept real NURBS. And LW's surface editor rocks too... Then there's full HDRI support, great radiosity... I could go on for hours. Maya on the other hand boasts the best dynamic system, great rigging tools, awesome flexibility due to the node based architecture and even comes with mental ray now. So I'd say for photoreal or "hyperreal" renderings you'll need LightWave, for character animation Maya might be better suited... so just get both and do like many big studios hope this helps, cheers, philip

Hi ho! LW definately seems like a program that I might learn some day. Can't afford to buy a licence for it atm though. Is there any kind of evaluation version of it?
Btw, great start on the site!
