I’ve had the upgrade for Lightwave 9 for about a week now and have been getting five minutes here and ten minutes there working with it.<\/p>\n

Part of the upgrade was a free download of LWCAD<\/a>, which I duly downloaded and registered and activated.<\/p>\n

My first question is How do people use Lightwave without LWCAD? It is simply stunning.\u00a0 Even the basics can produces buildings in minutes. I am very impressed with this program.<\/p>\n

I don’t know if I installed it properly but I had to make all the menu options myself.\u00a0 According to the documentation the self install program for Lightwave 9 does everything but I ran it and there were no options on my Lightwave menu; so I did it myself. Lightwave has a cool option where you can create groups and sub groups of commands. Most 3D programs have them i think, plus some other programs. It is similar to the customise tool bar option you can find in programs like MS Word.<\/p>\n

But even just messing about with LWCAD and doing things randomly it is amazing what can be done with this program: add in what Lightwave itself can do and the possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n

There are some problems with Modeler, in that it stops working when I try to add or edit plugins. Layout doesn’t do this so I guess I’m going to have to rummage through the Lightwave forums to see if this is common. I suspect it is more likely Vista’s fault as I have had Lightwave for a few years now and it has never caused problems before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
