Well we have a customer list for our training material (buying customers) thats rather large at Liberty3d.com and its a mere fraction of the lightwave user base, so... say whatever you want about trees in forests.

Yes. They still make LightWave.... Jesus.... Seriously? Hi Kat Sadly there seems to be only one company that has done a worse job of publicising their software then Autodesk with Softimage and that is Newtek I am afraid. It is very much a prevalent perception. I have gotten the same response from q...

Hi Curly. I will see if I can get rob to jump in on here. There are some answers I can provide for you however. I would like to ask Rob a couple of questions about LW roadmap. I'm already a registered LW 11.6 user. One of my favorite updates is the Bullet physics and the Cloth simulation and simulat...

Have you guys seen LWCAD?

I am not sure why someone would consider modo as a place to go after using XSI.

That Autodicks help you with SI license in the future, beyond 2016 is not good notice, and why? Because they know a software will be dead with new hardware and new operating system updates.

Educational pricing is available for all LW3DG products.

I think he's asking about cross-grade pricing from educational to educational. I don't think there is such an animal.

Dear Ryan, cost vs value: If you need to run a company it's not the software which costs, but the manpower. A software which takes you ONLY twice as long is twice the price for some artist. After one month the costs for maya or houdini are payed off seen from this perspective. So a program with man...

Agreed. And frankly I think Autodesk should be busted up and or investigated for anti-trust violations.

Hi Nizar. I'm not much of a modeler myself really. I do use 3D-coat however and have done some creature creations in that. I chose 3D-Coat because of its LWO format support specifically as zBrush at the time didn't have GoZ available for it and the GoZ interface made zip sense to me and the workflow...

Oh yeah.. You get to use that coupon as many times as you like until the end of the year. Its not just a one time use.

Hi again.
the offer expires march 31st.
if you pick LW up through us at liberty3d.com the bonus is the 35% off coupon you get afterwards for our training and branded tools and will we honor that until December 31st, 2014.

Some have already taken the plunge so you would not be alone in doing so.
