Newtek Announces Lightwave CORE

Lightwave Core

Newtek, makers of the venerable Lightwave, have announced a radical change to their 3D animation package, in the form of Lightwave CORE.

CORE is a complete re-write from the ground up, with a completely open SDK, with 3rd party developers using the same software tools as the programmers themselves. One of the potential advantages is transparent interaction between the various physics solutions, which should obviate the need for workarounds that have been the bane of at least one Lightwaver I know.

The first advance build should be out by the end of March, with the first shipping version due by the end of the year.
