LightWave® [8] Update 8.2 – 01/07/2005
Windows 2000 & XP, Mac OSX 10.3.3

Thank you for installing this latest update to NewTek's LightWave [8] software. Numerous software functionality issues have been addressed. We appreciate your feedback, which plays a large role in shaping this 3D animation software's future. Please send feature requests to lwfeatures@newtek.com.

Major Updates

Layout:
Antialiasing and Reconstruction Filters
Major changes have been made to the core of the industry-leading LightWave renderer. In keeping with our tradition of innovation in this area, NewTek has introduced a new technology to allow significant improvements to Anti-Aliasing called “PLD anti-aliasing” (Pixel Lattice Deformation.) The technology allows rendering to be undertaken with a much smaller number of passes, but without sacrificing quality. Both the new antialiasing methods and the reconstruction filters are located on the Camera Properties Panel. LightWave's original antialiasing features are available as well, so that the user has access to a full range of tools for producing exactly the desired results for a given scene.

For "real world" scenes in most instances the new antialiasing methods will provide
the most desirable results and may also be able to offer the desired result without increasing rendering time.

IK Booster
IK Booster has received a variety of additions in 8.2. Most notable is the "Ghost Mode" which allows the user to see where the IK/FK chain will be placed a number of frames (user-selectable) before and after the current frame. Also available are new options for baking, loading and saving motion data and copying pose and motion data between bones or chains, which make the animation elements that you create easily re-usable in your projects, saving you time and money.

VIPER
In addition to the original Draft and Normal rendering modes, Viper now offers a Mosaic mode, which starts with a 16x16 pixel resolution and progresses to higher resolutions until full VIPER resolution is reached. This is good for scenes with items that take longer to calculate (e.g. Hypervoxels) and gives you a good impression of the final render in faster time. Render time in milliseconds is now displayed for all modes.

Modeler:
UV Maps
The new LightWave team has spent the last 3 months reviewing and redesigning the way that UV coordinates are managed and implemented in the core LightWave mesh engine, “GCore.” These are far-reaching internal changes that affect almost all areas of both Modeler and Layout, although they have been written in such a way that they are entirely backwards compatible and so are only presented to the user when selected.

In versions of LightWave previous to 8.2, UV maps where interpolated in a way that could lead to visible distortions and seems, particularly when applied to Subdivision surfaces. Many of these problems were caused because the UV interpolation was not weighted according to the sub-division location, yielding purely linear UV interpolation. This limitation has now been addressed through the addition of “Sub-patch” UV mode.

A problem that is very common to 3D users, is how UV coordinates are interpolated across texture seams and at the edges of meshes. In order to give the highest level of functionality to users, LightWave now offers a complete set of tools to handle the UV mapping in these situations. These options include “Linear Corners”, “Linear Edges” and the extremely powerful “Across Discontinuous Edges” (See Figure 1.) In addition to the new mapping modes, major new UV tools have been added that eliminate the need for “unwelding” points and an intuitive implementation of the concept of “UV Islands” using the new “tear-off” feature.

SDK:
There are more than 22 enhancements to the SDK in 8.2, which will improve the capabilities of third party developers. The one change that most directly affects end users is in the handling of Layout Master Class plug-ins. Layout-type Master plugins, by definition, are not associated with scene files, but previous to 8.2, the active status of Master-class plugins was being saved to the scene file. In 8.2, this has been changed so the Master-class plugins are associated with the application and can be configured to load auto-matically when the application is launched.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ

Before installing LightWave [8] Update 8.2, back up any content in the LightWave [8] folder on your hard drive. This includes the default LightWave content in the LightWave [8]/Programs folder.

Mac users: You must use the latest version StuffIt Expander (8.0.2) in order for the 8.2 .sit file to extract and run properly on your system.

There is a new Registration process that was implemented with LightWave [8]. If you have registered LightWave [8], no further registration action is required. If not, you will need to register LightWave [8] to download the [8.2] update. NewTek has provided an easier system for online registration, and the ability to register over-the-phone with Customer Service.

Step-by-step on-line registration instructions can be found at:
http://register.newtek.com/howto/index-lw.aspx

If you have registered LightWave
[8] with NewTek Europe, you must login and download the update from NewTek Europe.


NewTek can only verify stability issues with the default installation of LightWave [8] when releasing updates and upgrades. NewTek cannot guarantee that the stability of 3rd party plug-ins/LScripts will not be affected by such changes. If you make use of third-party plug-ins/LScripts, we recommend checking with the respective publishers for compatibility issues before updating your installation of LightWave [8].

The version 8.2 downloadable update, on either platform, is a compressed executable file. The Mac download is a StuffIt file with .sit extension; for Windows, the download is a WinZip file with .zip extension. You can download the appropriate file to whatever location on your hard drive you choose.

While this update does not place new configuration files nor replace the license.key file, as a safety precaution it would still be wise to make a backup copy of any files or folders you may have modified since installing LightWave. These can include your configuration files, the license.key file, the Plugins folder, the Presets folder, and any content folders.

Default locations for Windows configuration files "LW8.CFG", "LWM8.CFG", "LWEXT8.CFG", "LWHUB8.CFG":

Win2K: <yourdrive>:Documents And Settings<username>
WinXP: <yourdrive>:Documents And Settings<username>
Default locations for Mac configuration files "LightWave Layout 8 Prefs", "LightWave Modeler 8 Prefs", "LightWave Extensions 8 Prefs", “LightWave Hub 8 Prefs”:

OS X: <yourdrive>/users/<username>/Library/Preferences
Once you have downloaded the appropriate file, navigate to the folder where you placed the file, and double-click on the file to execute the installer. When you are asked where to install the update, be sure to select the folder in which your current copy of LightWave [8] is located. This is required in order for the installer will place all the new files in the proper locations within that folder.

Be sure to read the ReadMe for important information about changes to the software.

LightWave [8] Update 8.2 has completed rigorous beta testing, and is stable.
