Newtek, please announce LW2020 or provide another fix update for LW2019!

Newtek turned me into a pessimist.

Chuck's LinkedIn page says he retired in October.

No one has announced Chuck's replacement, or it Virtz personnel ?

We have yet to be told of, either way, I wonder if the Moderator

here can shine some light. I miss Chuck, aways a gentleman...

Roll on LW2020, hope we get newer content & shiny tutes

[hypersuperduper]

Who knows, They might not replace him. The last two blog entries were from Ben Vost and Deuce Bennett. We don’t know if they are just filling in or if Chuck’s customer outreach duties are going to be distributed among the team. The situation isn’t as dire as when chuck stepped in, so maybe they figure now that the fires have been largely put out they can do without that role. It’s probably not an easy sort of role to fill tbh. My guess is that whatever the new setup is going to be, it will be announced in conjunction with the new version if at all.

one may just assume that lightwave went back into Newtek rather than a separate entity, https://www.lightwave3d.com/about_lightwave_group/

I dont think they mentioned anything about rebranding it all to vizrt.

Newtek seem to be affiliate only.

I think he is just referring to the fact that none of the three people there appear to be Lightwave ONLY people, they are are just Newtek high-ups.

yes
...just noticed..a misperception from me as thought it was about the vizrt aquirement..and not that lightwave/newtek split.

Newtek turned me into a pessimist.

first, LightWave turned me into a optimist.
then, LightWave turned me into a pessimist.
last, LightWave turned me into a realist.

The three stages of Lightwave?

Good news from Viktor tho'...

+++ “I'm sorry, but it would be very expensive to produce another LWCAD port. The Blender community is quite large, but there are only a few users who are actually willing to pay for plugins. I cannot agree with you about LightWave 2018. It is the best update from LightWave. NewTek has finally made important changes in LWSDK specifically for LWCAD. The next versions of LWCAD for LightWave will be full of revolutionary new features, especially due to updates in LightWave 2018. I have to thank the NT team for this. “+++

[kievi]

Yeah :-)

Expect the worst, hope for the best!

I'm hoping these new features are useful in Arch Viz.

based on this line, and the rest,
sure sounds like it.
