NewTek, Inc., manufacturer of industry-leading 3D animation and video products, has announced the first stage of extensive enhancements for LightWave 3D on the Mac. The migration of LightWave 3D to Universal Binary provides NewTek with a foundation for upcoming advancements in 3D technology for the Mac community. Live demonstrations of this new technology on Intel-based Mac systems will take place at the NewTek booth (1518) and press suite at SIGGRAPH 2006.

"We’re incredibly excited about our development plans for LightWave 3D on the Mac platform," said Jay Roth, President, NewTek 3D Division. "Our support for the new Intel-based Mac systems provides tremendous speed and performance gains for Mac users. This new technology also opens doors for us to make significant enhancements to LightWave expressly for the Mac community."

The Universal Binaries port will enable LightWave to run on both the PPC G4 and G5 CPUs and the new Intel-based Macs. Optimized performance will be provided for Mac users natively on both series of CPUs.

"Today, we publicly reveal and validate our passion for providing Mac users with the power, speed and flexibility of NewTek’s latest 3D technology on either PowerPC or the new Mac Intel-based architecture," said Michael Kornet, Vice President of Business Development.

Pricing and Availability
LightWave for the Intel-based Macintosh is a technology preview; the announcement of availability will be made at a later date. LightWave v9 is available now for Windows 32-bit, Windows 64-bit and Macintosh PowerPC.
