About Lightwave 3d

LightWave 3D was created in 1990 by NewTek. It was initially developed as part of the Video Toaster system for the Commodore Amiga, aimed at providing an affordable solution for television graphics and video production. Over time, it evolved into a standalone product used extensively in the film, television, and gaming industries for its robust modeling and animation capabilities.

Strengths of LightWave 3D include its powerful rendering engine, intuitive modeling tools, and affordability. Weaknesses involve a less modern user interface and slower development updates. Competitors include Autodesk Maya, Blender, Cinema 4D, and 3ds Max.
