NewTek LightWave™ 10 and the InterSense VCam Create the Industry's First Off-the-Shelf 3D Virtual Production System

SAN ANTONIO – SIGGRAPH – July 28, 2010 – NewTek (http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103587375105&s=21530&e=0011kPBzuwDtx-Mbnq2kAUlDgMDjZ5P2Klcj4BJOX7NDLzJdAUJn9RIb9J_Ds_s23J0_4t-oIHugbb8-NluC8PJ1k6ODMkwFNAbZp_KZG39zB8=), a worldwide leader in 3D animation and video products, and InterSense Inc. (http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103587375105&s=21530&e=0011kPBzuwDtx_z9Tc4W8jAeqlfdzH5wluM3zv7q0yBJNaAJt3tkQXN0DdHFzTf93k5Xphw22z3sN5Lt-3PsRPG4IsaQdEpo1YX1f0tQ5UIus6HUPwhzRwndQ==), a market leader in precision motion technology, today announced the creation of the industry's first off-the-shelf 3D virtual production system: LightWave™ 10 with VCam. By integrating NewTek's next generation LightWave 3D® software with the InterSense patented virtual camera technology, creators of 3D films and games are able to model, animate, render, scout and set shots with one, complete solution.

Being demonstrated at SIGGRAPH 2010 (http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103587375105&s=21530&e=0011kPBzuwDtx8rWUKHhTMQK3Z-4Qysyk9ePZ0x3ydw3rslEdL33nTfxTn86SbfR3-YHyIi4O24nfCi29-wnBtX7Az04ic02m1iim7-crxbXFV7qm0ik11ZHDUEb37mhj9c), in NewTek's booth H#337, LightWave 10 with VCam lets users create unprecedented realism in a real time virtual environment by combining physical camera moves within a model to render software solution.

•NewTek LightWave 10 in addition to integration with the InterSense VCam, provides production proven modeling, rendering and animation capabilities with new interactive display and rendering functions, data interchange enhancements, immersive real-time and game capabilities, Bullet rigid body dynamics, and new UV mapping tools.
•InterSense's VCam delivers organic, real-time virtual camera tracking which makes it easy to scout virtual locations, frame shots, and quickly shoot, re-shoot and produce virtual content. VCam helps artists achieve immersive real-time visualization results that are virtually unattainable with traditional methods. What normally takes days of pre-programming and key framing 3D camera motions, now happens interactively.

"There's no question that 3D technology is one of the hottest topics in film and game making, but accessibility continues to be an issue," said Rob Powers, vice president, 3D development, NewTek. "NewTek and InterSense have changed that with LightWave 10 featuring VCam integration. I'm excited to bring my knowledge and experience in virtual production for films like "Avatar" and "Tintin" to help create a solution that takes 3D to the next level by making this technology available to everyone. We've done that with LightWave 10."

"With LightWave and VCam, we can put more control and creative freedom back in the hands of directors, producers and VFX supervisors while ensuring that more of the production budget stays on the screen," said Dean Wormell, director of applications marketing, InterSense. "Together, we hope to open up a new world of immersive virtual production for independent filmmakers and game developers worldwide."

Yup, but that's not surprising. :)

Actually, a lot of people get a good laugh at this. And if the fan boys need facts (they always do) see how much coverage it's got so far; CGchannel said some good old truths there, too. In all honesty, I think the 3D Virtual Production thing is pretty awesome and a real innovation for a change, so we might see a lot more of LW 10 in the future.

One has to wonder how long it will take for the competition to steal that great idea.

PS: this is a 100% honest, straight from the heart, praise. I love the virtual camera demonstration.
PPS: DSW, you haven't checked my review of LW 9.6 over at the Newtek's forum.

Yes, and as other people in the thread pointed out to you, knowing the tools WELL and how to use them helps. And also why CORE is being developed.

PS. So WHY do you bother? You appear to be just like Sam, having nothing better to do than harass people who use LW. It's not good enough that you use another app, you feel that you MUST prove to 'wavers that you don't like LW. It's certainly NOT to help LW since we all know the program has shortcomings - but then so does Newtek since they are working on CORE. You are sad individuals. I certainly wouldn't be hiring either one of you. :)

Among the most pathetic of individuals, is someone who logs on to a thread just to tell you what they won't do, or complain about software they no longer use. True narcissists, and in the end, truly pathetic. Do your self a favor and don't bother trying to reason with them. You would have better success trying to teach a pig to sing. At best, those loser punks only succeed in embarrassing other SI users.

True... but I do think that you can get pretty far with a 3D Connexion mouse...
