You probably cannot tell by my work, but I have used Lightwave3d since 94 on my Amiga4000. It ruled then as it does now. Maybe its just close to my heart. The interface is simply eligant. At that time, the programs Modeler and Layout were written by two classmates from middle school. By the way, Lightwave, I read "disclaimed" is to date the only "off the shelf program" used entirely to create a full featured film "Jimmy Neutron".
