USEFUL VIDEOS FOR GETTING STARTED WITH LIGHTWAVE 2018

LightWave is an amazing 3D program that makes it possible to create nearly anything you can imagine. And while it is not open source, it is open architecture, which means that there are a ton of plug-ins and other programs that support it and add features.

The following tutorials should help you with getting started and learning about its newest capabilities. From our perspective, the last stage of the process --- rendering--- is the most important because if your render doesn't look good, everything else you did will be for nothing.
So we have singled out videos that not only touch on shading and lighting, but most importantly, focus on 2018 and rendering.
