Exactly. This was the singular event that killed NewTek/Vizrt for me imho. I have been a defender of NewTek and LW for all my career, but this greed and effort to pump me for a sale of a product I...

Just received notice last week that Maxon has also purchased Red Giant, one of the industry's most potent and widespread mograph and vfx suites for film and video production. Ive been using Red Giant...

you can't be serious, steve. :lol: either you are playing nice to not po the trolls, or completely out of touch. either way, as a moderator, you share an equal portion of the blame for doing nothing...

you are abso correct. i was waiting to see how long it would take until the perpetual blender trolls hijacked my post and began using it as a blender promotion, and sure enough, here we are...

enjoyed your retrospective, svenart!!:beerchug:

beautifully put, scott! agree 100%, and was also relieved to hear someone else put into words how I feel about the LW community post 2015. i've been struggling with this as well.

i said no such thing.

your quoted reference: "I'm similarly intrigued to hear what M has. I did see a comment by Terrence Walker implying character animation was actually pretty good, but he...

:boogiedow right on. :boogiedow

modo is not the successor to LW. modo is primarily a modelling app -- i don't know any studios that have a modo-primary pipeline for feature or broadcast animation. LW's animation, dynamics and...

most high-end studios have extensive maya pipelines in place, so it's hard for LW to re-emerge as the central app for dcc as it was when it was literally THE major player in the broadcast arena until...

slick work!

oh, yes. i still marvel at the VFX in firefly and serenity. abso brilliant. i'm also binge watching andromeda again, and there are some amazing LW FX in that series, too. these series still hold up...

well, i still run LW 2015.3 on win 10 with no issues, and that version is 5 years old, and has withstood numerous major windows updates. the beauty of LW is that its core infrastructure is much less...

i've been using LW since the days when Babylon 5 transformed VFX for broadcast, and i have no intention of succumbing to the doom and gloom about LW's future now. there will always be those who feel...

dude, so uncool. 🖕

amazing work, brother. :beerchug:

ridiculous thread. OS is great for hobbyists, but for professional use, wholly inadequate.

i left the forums here 3 years ago because of so much blender bs and griping about the future of LW, updates, ad nausea. interesting coming back now, and seeing the very same people with the same...

i'm betting that LW will be sold, as we've seen with other major 3d apps (softimage, maya). it's a great app, with amazing tools. vizRT most closely aligns with NewTek's visualization hardware &...

not me. i run my own shop. i can use any 3d app i want, but choose LW. have been using sit since '95. also have c4d (R20 & R21), and will use that for advanced mograph, but otherwise, LW 2015, 2019 &...

:dito:

I love LW, too. It's the most comfortable and productive tool in my 3D arsenal. Been using it professionally since 1995. :D

i guess so many feel that unless the app they used is all flash and dazzle at sig, or profiled on cgtalk, is what makes the app worth using. frankly, the LW community trolls are coming off like a...

agreed. the only thing i've used poser for is to export models in the default da vinci pose, then rig them directly in LW. poser has the absolute worst UI i've ever used, and i just could not get the...

AE is a superior product, overall, with much more industry support than fusion. as a budget (and dongled ;D ) app with a focus on 3D compositing, fusion is awesome and well worth owning! but for...
