NewTek Demonstrates 64-bit LightWave 3D
December 17, 2004
Los Angeles, CA - NewTek demonstrated its 64-bit implementation of LightWave 3D, shown on an AMD Opteron system running Windows XP Professional x64 Edition beta OS.
LightWave's 64-bit version uses the increased memory available with 64-bit systems plus the power of the new processors and faster RAM access. Content creators will be able to complete their work in less time, or to do more complex work than could previously have been done within a given time and budget, the company describes. The ability to utilize much more RAM allows the artist to create more complex and realistic scenes as well as to produce images at higher resolutions for film, high-definition television, and print.
The 64-bit version of LightWave 3D is not currently available for commercial sale.
It is available only to a limited number of pre-determined beta site locations. LightWave [8] for Windows and Macintosh platforms is available for a suggested retail price of $1,595 USD. Current LightWave users may upgrade to LightWave [8] for $495 USD.
