 LightWave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
LightWave (or, more properly, LightWave 3D) is a computer graphics program for 3D modeling, rendering, and animation.
Lightwave 3D has been available as a standalone application since 1994 and version 8.5 now runs on Mac OS X and Windows-based PC computers.
In 1990, the Video Toaster suite was released, incorporating Lightwave 3D, and running on the Commodore Amiga computer.

 Lightwave 5.6, 6.0, 6.5 (and newer) Geometry Export Converter
For example, if Lightwave is currently using “c:\newtek” as the current root directory then it will search for.lwo files in the directory “c:\newtek\objects”, scene files in “c:\newtek\scenes” and bitmap images in “c:\newtek\images”.
As a background to the Lightwave method of storing data, each mesh object is stored individually in a ‘Lightwave object’ file which has a.lwo file extension; this file contains binary data holding the vertices, polygons and surface (material) information about a specific object.
For example, if you are finding that the surfaces (materials) output to the Lightwave files are not shiny enough then you could change the 'Reflection' multiplier to 1.5 which will cause all reflection shading values to be increased by 1.5 times in magnitude.

 LightWave History - LightWiki
LightWave was available for Intel and now also for SGI, DEC Alpha, Macintosh, and in its last version for Amiga
This site is a compilation and an archival record of how NewTek, Inc's., Lightwave 3D computer graphics software has evolved and changed interface styles, box packaging, and logo design over the course of time, now in its 15th year and 8th version.
This was the first version to have built in lens flares and some other "special" goodies for the Lightwaving Toaster users.

 Amazon.com: LightWave 3D 6.5: Software
Lightwave 3D is one of the rare products that allows a novice user to create something amazing within an hour of using the program for the first time, and allow the user to dig deeper and deeper.
Lightwave's interface is both easy to understand, and extremely efficient.
The program employs so many little features which go unnoticed but dramatically speed up creation time.

 How To: Render .lws Files on the ResPower Super/Farm™
Lightwave appears to have a bug in the interaction between its FBM procedural texture and hypervoxels.
The Macintosh is peculiar in the computing world in that it stores metadata in the file system to determine the type of the file rather than relying on the file's extension.
Unless you specify it in Lightwave, the farm has no way of knowing what output file type you would like to have.

 Mastering LightWave’s All Important Config Files, Mastering LightWave 8 ScreamerNet for Mac OS X, DreamLight ...
In LightWave 7.5, if you are specifying your Content directory through LightWave and the Config file, rather than hard coding it into the LWSN command line, then you should make sure the path to the Content directory is short enough that no paths, for objects, images, etc. will be longer than 128 characters in total.
Since the Multithreading setting is stored in the config file, and LightWave and LWSN run optimally with different render thread settings, it is often useful to configure LightWave and your LWSN nodes to use different config files.
LightWave’s Config Files are plain text files that store basic configuration information for LightWave and LWSN.

 the lightwave shades project
Many ideas, techniques, and code used in this project came from the book "Texturing and Modeling: A Procedural Approach" by Ebert, Musgrave, Peachey, Perlin, and Worley.
You can find more links and information about procedural texturing on the "Writing a Shades Shader" page.
So the ground work for a Lightwave Shader project was complete, and by adding a common LWPanels interface and support for envelopes, I felt this project might provide educational (and hopefully useful) shader plugins.
