I just put lightwave 6 back on my system and was trying to ad the plugins going by the instructions on the read me file and I ran into some trouble so I called a tek that said my 6.5 beta was out dated from 11-2000 but they no longer have a newer one at their site. They only have the new one for lightwave 7. Any sugestions as to how I could get it would be great. |

What an abstract concept chris...so you mean if you want a program you are supposed to buy it??? I am surprised that when you called a 'tek' michal they didnt make that sublte suggestion to you. Mabye you can sign up for the Lightwave 7.5 beta test... |

by the way, lightwave max or rhino for the hobby user who wants to turn pro when he grows up? i was planning on getting a student version of Max 4 with reactor and stuff for my 18th, which is $900. but i was wondering about getting lightwave 7 or whatever. also rhino now has a nice render engine and i could pick up a student package of rhino and the render engine for like $400 but would it be as good? i use max at school so im at home with it now, whats it like making the shift from one package to another? what kind of things would i loose if i went for lightwave as opposed to max? |

moaiz, I tend to think outside the box and come up with these weird, abstract concepts like purchasing software |

Hi Michal here again incase you did not read the question I already own lightwave 6. 6.5 was a free down loadable upgrade unfortunately the one I have is out of date the tek said I should be able to get it from New teks site but it is not there. If you buy lightwave 7 they have a beta pach fix or what ever for it that is free. That is what 6.5 was so you don't have to send them a check. |

If you used a bit better grammar and didn't use massive run-on sentences we might've understood that And Porkchop just solved your problem. |

hey das, yeah that interface is a killer compared to good old max. going from somethign that looks like a proper windows application [like photoshop] to something which just looks like an old dos app is a bit confusing. i still can't get my head around modelling in one thing and setting everything else up in the other. s'only a demo though. anyone got any good into tutorials they could point me to? |

The thing with LightWave is that is isn't a "windows" interface, which is what i like about it. It was actually born out of a production environment and is an amazingly fast workflow when you get into it. The basic mindset is something like "what do i want to do to this object?" which is when you pick a tab up top. Just kinda narrow down from there till you reach what you want. If that made any sense |
