For all of you who believe Lightwave is dead, here is a solid proof that it isn't. See Link.

I have been playing with LW's demo version for the past few weeks, and it's truly impressive. All the features that I always dreamed to have at my fingertips, that Carrara was lacking, including a thorough 2,300+ pages manual.

As far as I am concerned Lightwave will be my next purchase.
