I was just wondering, among all the excellent demos that are being shown - can we have some test renders? High-res renders showing off the reflections, radiosity, and so on? Not the ones that are currently on the LW8 site - new ones done by beta testers.
The reason I ask, is because Lightwave has always been known for its kick-*** rendering out-of-the-box. However, recent versions such as 7.5c have introduced unfortunate side-effects to the rendering engine. Of course, it is a poor artist that blames the tools - and indeed, excellent results are plainly visible in both stills and animations such as Children of Dune and Battlestar Galactica. However, I was just wanting to see some renders posted - it would work as a marketing ploy too.
Of course, I can simply wait for LW8 too. Then I can test render to my heart's content. LOL
