From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
LightWave (or, to give it its proper name, LightWave 3D) is a powerful, popular program for doing 3D art. It is sold by NewTek. Lightwave has long been known for its excellent rendering abilities and unusual user interface (icons are not used; functions are all given descriptive titles).
Lightwave first gained fame as the program used to generate special effects for the Babylon 5 series.
Lightwave was once part of the Video Toaster suite. Current versions of Video Toaster include a simplified version of Lightwave.
