Maker of 3D animation and video products, NewTek recently demonstrated the upcoming 64-bit version of its LightWave 3D software at an exclusive Los Angeles event.

LightWave 64-bit was previewed on an AMD Opteron system, from Boxx Technologies, running the Windows XP Professional x64 Edition beta operating system. An audience of film and television visual effects producers, game developers, and artists were among the first to witness the live demonstration of the 64-bit LightWave beta.

This new version is designed to take advantage of the increased memory afforded by 64-bit systems, in addition to tapping the power of new processors and faster access to RAM. Content creators will benefit from a streamlined work flow, the ability to complete projects in less time, and support for more complex, realistic, and higher-resolution imagery.
