NewTek Ships LightWave 10

NewTek, a leading provider of 3D animation and video products, releases NewTek LightWave 10, the latest version of its Emmy Award-winning 3D software.
LightWave 10 delivers a whole new set of capabilities for 3D producers and studio pipelines.
Now, 3D artists have the ability to focus on the creative process with tools that provide immediate feedback, whether they work alone or in a multi-software studio.
LightWave 10 leverages new technologies developed in LightWave CORE and showcases NewTek's commitment to the creation of tools that support the artistic process. With LightWave 10, artists have the ability to interact directly in the viewpoint and see changes to lights, textures, volumetric and more, to view updates to their stereoscopic work in real-time and to deliver realistic environment walkthroughs in ways never before possible.
With data interchange tools that enhance pipeline integration and a fresh user interface. LightWave 10 is the most artist-friendly, production-ready version of LightWave ever. Developed through continued collaboration with 3D artist members of the LightWave HardCORE community and key Hollywood studios, LightWave 10 delivers the benefits artists count on.
Stefan Bredereck, Supervising Artist EdenFX, said: "We upgraded to Lightwave 10 with its linear colour space workflow because it lets us achieve photorealism so much faster. It helps bring out all the qualities of the rock solid LightWave render engine. With LightWave, we achieved the needed results super fast, and we accomplished even the most challenging tasks. LightWave 10 speeds things up even more. The new features make it a very valuable tool for our studio."
