NewTek first to unveil a 64-bit professional 3D animation application.
The 64-bit version of NewTek’s Emmy Award-winning LightWave 3D software
solution is currently available to only a limited number of pre-determined beta
site locations, but it was demonstrated before an audience of film and
television visual effects producers, game developers, and artists at The
Highlands Hollywood in Los Angeles. LightWave 64-bit was presented on an AMD
Opteron system running Windows XP Professional x64 Edition beta OS.
"By working
closely with partners such as AMD and its 64-bit hardware technologies, NewTek
has yet again been able to maximize its core competency as an innovator and
leader in Digital Content Creation tools by being the first to unveil a 64-bit
professional 3D animation application to the public," said Vice President of
Business Development Michael Kornet.
"For the last four years, NewTek has been working on the development of a
64-bit version of our award-winning LightWave 3D software application, including
our plug-ins," said Andrew Cross, PhD, senior vice president of Engineering.
"Literally millions of lines of code have been ported to and optimized to take
full advantage of 64-bit technologies. The 64-bit LightWave version has now been
fully running and tested internally for over a year, and recently was released
to external beta testers. As we had expected, the feedback that we have gotten
in this process has been astonishing and as such we feel that it is time to
demonstrate this technology publicly for the first time."
With increased memory and processor power, as well as faster RAM access,
the 64-bit implementation of LightWave 3D will deliver a streamlined workflow,
allowing you greater flexibility and creative freedom. Time saved can be
invested in complexity that schedules and budgets would otherwise disallow.
Being able to make use of more RAM will let you create more complex and
realistic scenes and produce images at higher resolutions.
The 64-bit version of LightWave 3D should become available for sale when
the 64-bit Windows Operating System is commercially available.
Something to look
forward to!
