Videoscape was written by Allen Hastings and Modeler 3D by Stuart Ferguson, giving a historical basis behind the split personality of LightWave 3D. 1988 - Precursor to LightWave 3Dīefore LightWave came Videoscape 3D and Aegis Modeler 3D on the Commodore Amiga. This page is a compilation and an archival record of how NewTek, Inc's., LightWave 3D computer graphics software has evolved and changed interface styles, box packaging, and logo design over the course of time, now in its 27th year and 13th version. Images marked with zzz or lores need replacing Doing so will take a little time and if users wish to contribute screenshots they will be credited.

, but it won´t be me commenting on these forums if it´s still here, but an AI robot designed to be of annoyance.The LightWave History page has to be rebuilt including full-size images. Our imagination goes so much much far beyond designing cars or similar, that´s a piece of cake, but making the AI write a book that wins the nobel prize, or a movie that hitsġ00% in the imdb score, even 20%, we would have to wait longer than 30- 40 years, that I am convinced of.even if we put Steven Spielberg in the directing chair with Harrison Ford in the lead role and with the music of John Williams, the later is of course only hypothetical, it can never be realised unless they invent something to stop us from aging.īut I am no scientist, then again scientist do blow up things from time to time.literally.īut 30-40 years from now, I would probably if I am lucky sit in elderly care and mumble about how AI advanced and humanlike the AI intelligence is, while still being frustrated about Still no Lightwave release, despite their are software around to write 3D software

I just don´t believe we can have an AI performing the way the human brain does, when we even can´t map the brain for many thousands of years, if we would create AI smarter than us that could do it for us in a shorter span, that is of course something we are counting on since they are machines, but nevertheless we will probably not get to a point in neartime where we can map the brain that far.Īnd is that essential? I think it is.an ai built differently with it´s own set of rules or stealing from internet sources and puzzle it to form a simulated perception of reality and imagination will be different for sure, could be amazing, but different. I Don´t believe that for a second really, to evaluate it must first be established What will happen in 30-40 years?Īn AI capable of just simulating much of how we think, or manage duties etc to some level of intelligents, we have the turing test etc.which may already have been passed, but can we say AI have reached the same imagination as humans have today, not likely. I guess it's time to dust off that C.V and get employed by the government. Going to university to learn 3D animation now, seems increasingly like a waste of time and money these days if you're seeking to gain employment at the end of it.Īs AI improvements become more and more closer to usable in the real world, I wonder how many jobs there will be in the media industries for real humans and what types of roles we will have.įrom a production company's stand point the potential benefits of using AI in the future is like having the goose that lays the golden eggs. As the future creeps ever closer, more and more am I increasingly happy with the decision I made in 2008 to become an independent animator.
