You should learn max. Its what they use, its an opportunity. I've been in 4 studios in almost 20 years and used max, lw, maya, modo at a competent level. You will be more flexible as a cg artist. Compositing with AE was also something I wanted to learn and I did with a guy who worked at ghibili. But now I use hitfilm and the technique transfered well. Be like water

I think the price is pretty cheap for a full 3d package that can model, animate, render. You can buy a perpetual license of lightwave equivalent to 3 months of subs from autodesk. Freelance generalist can do amazing stuff with any of these full 3d packages its down to the skills and experience. But some people are overpaying for autodesk software imho because you're renting and that's never good. Blender is blender. Some people click with it some people won't even with the rewrite. I'm still on 2.79 and won't be moving to 2.8 because its like relearning which I don't have time for. I'd rather travel.

Indefinitely after the upgrade window? Still a discount of 300 Buy 3dcoat with that savings. Newtek really should raise the price a bit.

http://www.animationmagazine.net/vfx/lightwave-11-6-nevronmotion-plugin-hit-market/ LightWave 11.6 is priced at $1495 and the NevronMotion plug-in is priced at $299. Registered LightWave 11 customers can upgrade to LightWave 11.6 free of charge; upgrade pricing from LightWave 10 or earlier versions is $695 (USD). Educational pricing is also available.

What was the normal price for a full lightwave license? I remember it was 1495. Its 995+tax when there's an upgrade window. For 2019 its up to the end of march and after that it goes back up to normal price.

I'm selling lightwave 2019 with transfer fee for $695. I have two licenses so I'm selling one. Price will probably go up to $1495 after march from Newtek.

Is 3dcoat substance painter? Lol What was your point? I didn't ask about substance painter. Go fume somewhere else.

Do we have clipping mask support that is compatible with photoshop clipping mask. I currently still bounce back and forth ps and 3dc but the clipping mask doesn't work. Wish there was a way to support this non destructive workflow between ps and 3dc.

Thanks Carlosan! I sent to our render specialist.

Is there a documentation for converting pbr textures from one format to another from a developer standpoint? The math, algorithms and formulas behind pbr export and import. We are trying to write a plugin for exporting textures from our renderer but our dev doesn't understand the docs from https://www.marmoset.co/posts/pbr-texture-conversion/ as its too artist talk and not developer friendly.

Check the video. I'm re adjusting several times in a span of 2 mins for 1 part of the texture to align some fabric seams. Do it 1000 times on many parts of the jeans and do it 100 times on different clothes a week. Hours spent on that could be just a few minutes if its done directly in the 3dc viewport.

The back and forth between 3dc and ps is the killing factor. Takes so long to do it this way instead of doing it in the 3dc viewport without needing to open ps.
