Really good price!! BUT... Lightwave like other historic apps, have a lot of strong functions, is stable and professional, but i agree, the interface is too old and too slow to work with and the plugins are too much expensive. Lightwave don't have the shader tree of carrara (a piece of art in my opinion). My money will go for new technology such Z-brush, Modo, Maxwell render, etc, or dedicated apps like Poser. -TOXE
