#VERTEX PAINTING LIGHTWAVE 3D MAC OS X#
LightWave 3D has been available as a standalone application since 1994, and version 9.3 runs on both Mac OS X and Windows platforms. In 1990, the Video Toaster suite was released, incorporating LightWave 3D, and running on the Amiga computer. Originally intended to be called "NewTek 3D Animation System for the Amiga", Hastings later came up with the name "LightWave 3D", inspired by two contemporary high-end 3D packages: Intelligent Light and Wavefront. NewTek planned to incorporate VideoScape and Modeler into its video editing suite, Video Toaster. In 1988, Allen Hastings created a rendering and animation program called VideoScape 3D, and his friend Stuart Ferguson created a complementary 3D modeling program called Modeler, both sold by Aegis Software.

Programmers can expand LightWave's capabilities using an included SDK which offers Python, LScript (a proprietary scripting language) scripting and C language interfaces. The animation component has features such as inverse and forward kinematics for character animation, particle systems and dynamics. The 3D modeling component supports both polygon modeling and subdivision surfaces. It includes a fast rendering engine that supports such advanced features as realistic reflection, radiosity, caustics, and 999 render nodes. LightWave is a software package used for rendering 3D images, both animated and static.
It has been used in films, television, motion graphics, digital matte painting, visual effects, video game development, product design, architectural visualizations, virtual production, music videos, pre-visualizations and advertising.
LightWave 3D is a 3D computer graphics program developed by NewTek.
