LightWave Projects List

Updated 2004.07.21
This page was created as a record of the movies, TV shows, and other high profile projects that have been created with the help of NewTek's LightWave 3D modeling, animation, and rendering software. Unless noted in blue, these projects all include LightWave-rendered animation in the final cut. In 2002, this page was used as the starting point for a similar list on NewTek's site. No doubt both lists are missing many worthy projects...
