July 25, 2005

NewTek is pleased to announce the upcoming release of version 8.5, the fifth free update for LightWave [8]. This new update will include the following enhancements:

*

New OpenGL Hardware shader option using the hardware renderer in OpenGL video cards to display many of the render functions in real-time. Lights, light falloffs, blending images on surfaces, per-pixel lighting will all be available in real-time, with an option to turn this feature on and off.
*

New Parts-to-Surfaces tool allows for easier integration of 3D objects created in other applications.
*

New Multi Shift allows the user to do multiple shifts in a single edit with a history profile that can be saved and applied to other meshes."
*

Dynamics now launch a control window that allows you to switch to other applications while calculating dynamics in LightWave.
*

Particle dynamics have been improved for accuracy, including interaction with collision planes. A new algorithm also allows large dynamic scenes to load up to 10x faster.
*

104 new configurable keyboard shortcut options.

LightWave v8.5 will be available as a free download for registered owners of LightWave [8] in Q3 2005.

newtek鬼馬...
今天公布的這個新特性...是不久傳聞中沒有提及的.....
硬系想.....吊人口胃....話你知你估佢唔到咁........
唔理佢乜特性...最緊要系准時推出......費時一陣又話開發阻礙...系咁拖...
"New Multi Shift allows the user to do multiple shifts in a single edit with a history profile that can be saved and applied to other meshes." 這個會不會象征著它快會有history功能?這個功能在C4d上看過....

可能系可save做preset, 應該未必系好powerful,雖然次次都講到好有用.
唔知呢個系唔系full feature list.
反應期待luxology話會o系8月2有annoucement, 應該系個rednerer release日期. 之前有個demo, 好似唔錯.
