This week, New Tek announced the release of the newest version of Lightwave 3D, and I have to say… I’m thinking about getting it.<\/p>\n

I don’t want to imply that I am floored with the new features. In fact, I have only skimmed what it has to offer.

That said, I realized it has been 5 1\/2 years since my last purchased update, and I might be due for one. To be fair, I believe I went even longer before the previous update.
