Other new features include the addition of NVIDIA CgFX shader support, an improved Color Picker, a faster Viewport Preview Renderer (VPR), and more. Raycast Motion utilizes Raycasting technology to make an object aware of its surroundings and the Compound Node allows you to simplify complex networks down to a single node. With Spline Control, nulls or other objects act as nodes in a spline to control or deform objects such as tentacles, tails, whips or even elevators. LightWave 11.6 introduces new animation tools such as Spline Control, Raycast Motion and Compound Node. LightWave 3D software offers modeling, rigging, animation, effects, dynamics, and near limitless render nodes in an award-winning integrated LightWave render engine-providing studios and artists with everything they need to create an affordable and powerful end-to-end pipeline. “By offering support for NVIDIA 3D Vision technology with NVIDIA Quadro graphics, LightWave is providing artists with powerful options for sharing stereo 3D content with teams, clients and studio executives,” said Andrew Page, product manager, Advanced Technologies, NVIDIA. “By supporting a variety of stereoscopic solutions for NVIDIA Quadro graphics cards, we offer a solid way for artists and studios to streamline the review process with industry-leading technology,” said Rob Powers, president, LightWave 3D Group. Additionally, it creates an explicit connection between the glasses and hub to eliminate interference in multi-user environments, such as studios or screening rooms. NVIDIA 3D Vision Pro also offers bi-directional communication to verify that glasses are operating correctly. NVIDIA 3D Vision uses infrared light to control the toggling of the glasses, while NVIDIA 3D Vision Pro uses 2.4GHz radio communication to support longer range viewing (of up to 100 ft). With NVIDIA’s 3D visualization support, artists and designers working with LightWave 11.6 software in Windows 7 or Windows 8 operating systems can use NVIDIA Quadro graphics to visualize high-quality, advanced stereoscopic 3D environments across multiple devices, including enabled desktop monitors and multi-projector wall displays. LightWave 11.6 is the newest update to NewTek’s award-winning LightWave 3D modeling, animation and rendering software for the creation of everything from architectural visualizations to explosive visual effects for television and film. SIGGRAPH 2013 – Anaheim, CA – July 23, 2013 – The LightWave 3D® Group, a division of NewTek, Inc., today announced LightWave 11.6 3D software now supports NVIDIA® 3D Vision®, NVIDIA 3D Vision Pro and HDMI stereo devices with NVIDIA Quadro® professional graphics cards. Provides a powerful new way for artists and studios to review and share 3D content on the desktop or multi-projector wall displays LightWave 11.6 Supports Full Stereoscopic 3D Review with NVIDIA 3D Vision and 3D Vision Pro
