@ Lobo3433: I agree with you that $395.- upgrade price is a bit steep. If Lightwave plans to make yearly releases, and charge $395.- for the upgrade, that equates to a quite expensive subscription model.

For me the real value in LW 2019 is its scaleable UI, which works extremely well. The UI can be enlarged or shrunk by any factor, to suit any monitor or any eyesight.

LW always had the reputation of a quirky UI, but with the new UI scaleability, LW 2019 is now ahead of every other 3D app. Some 3D apps let the user enlarge the UI font size (within limits), but no 3D apps, as far as I know, has such an elegantly designed mechanism as LW 2019 does.
