Now, with a more powerful engine behind us, we are trying to pin down the feel and flow of LightWave gameplay. Originally created in a different programming language and engine, scaling up the game at a decent pace needed a big change. Product and service names mentioned herein may be the trademarks of their respective owners.“LightWave has been a pet (and also P3T) project since 2017. (SPEC), a non-profit corporation formed to establish, maintain and endorse a standardized set of relevant benchmarks that can be applied to the newest generation of computers. SPECapc is part of the Standard Performance Evaluation Corp. Current members include AMD, Autodesk, Dell, Fujitsu Limited, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Lenovo, NEC and NVIDIA. SPECapc was formed in 1997 to address performance evaluation based on popular workstation applications. The SPECapc group also provides free benchmarks for systems running Autodesk Maya 6.5 and 3ds Max 9, Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0, SolidWorks 2007, and Solid Edge V19 and NX 4 from Siemens PLMS.

LIGHTWAVE 3D. FOR FREE
SPECapc for LightWave 3D v9.6 is available for free downloading on the SPEC web site: It is available currently for Microsoft Windows XP and Vista 32- and 64-bit platforms. “Our thanks to NewTek for its cooperation and input throughout the development process.” “We are excited to deliver a benchmark with such a complete representation of a LightWave v9.6 workflow,” says Dan Bennett, SPECapc chair. “Congratulations to all – this is great work and provides a valuable industry metric.” “We at NewTek are proud of being chosen as a standard to determine the actual performance of any hardware system and to have LightWave included in the respected SPECapc suite of benchmarking tools for computationally intensive applications,” says Jay Roth, president, 3D Division, NewTek. The benchmark puts special emphasis on processes that benefit from multi-threaded computing, such as animation, OpenGL playback, deformations, and high-end rendering that includes ray tracing, radiosity, complex textures and volumetric lighting. Scores for individual workloads are composited under three categories: interactive, render and multitask. Models ranging up to 1.75 million polygons represent such applications as 3D character animation, architectural review, and industrial design. SPECapc for LightWave v9.6, developed in cooperation with NewTek, provides realistic workloads that simulate a typical LightWave 3D workflow. LightWave™ is a complete modeling, rendering and animation solution used worldwide for visual effects in television, film, broadcast graphics, games, visualization, print and web.
