I've been a Lightwave user since version 1.0 on the Amiga. 3D was my principle income in the 90's and I taught 3D at the Memphis College of Art beginning with Strata Studio Pro and then Electric Image before transitioning to Lightwave (I couldn't wait!) when it became stable on the Mac platform. After fewer 3D jobs came around, I focused on web design and video production but now that Frankenstein's monster (LW2023) is alive, I'm eager to revisit some fledgling ideas that I'm excited about.
The animation below was rendered in Lightwave 2023. My older demo reel can be found at Friendlyspider.com.
