The San Antonio Express-News bought me a copy of Lightwave 2 years ago and I learned it well enough to produce some work for the paper but went back to Carrara because of Carrara's strengths and Lightwave's weaknesses. Lightwave costs more but cost doesn't factor in when your employer buys your software. Lightwave was designed from the ground up to do one thing, 3D animation for broadcast and film. It never was intended to be used in print. I have watched my co-workers take more than an hour to create images in Lightwave that I created in under 20 minutes in Carrara. Many times in Lightwave you have to take 3 steps to do something when Carrara would only take one. The reason for this is mainly because of all the heavy-duty animation tools LW is crammed with. Don't get me wrong, I think Lightwave is a wonderful program and many print artists have created some fine illustrations using it. In spite of the interface. I'm just sending this message out hoping it will alert Eovia's marketers of this potentially huge market. Go get 'em.
