I really love is Application sweet review buddy.

This was Excellent! Only thing missing was a little Depeche Mode. :D

I remember how League of Extraordinary Gentlemen used Lightwave as their renderer of choice because of how beautiful it looks. It nails down that sci-fi fantasy look so perfectly.

Loved LW, but they should have an option to integrate the separate model/layout spaces if desired.

a serious question, is lightwave still rapidly used like it was around 2008-10 period.
