Newtek-Lightwave 9 LW 9 will have real and total support for edge manipulation, as well as the modeling tools set is now acessible in Layout for those of you that want a single work environment! There are now also sub-d modeling with n-gons as well as faster sub-d surfaces in general.
Heheh, yeha my thoughts are: better late than never. Hopefully this is a sign of much better things to come in the future. I've long since resigned myself to the fact that they'd have to play some serious catch-up with the rest of the industry, but it would seem that 9.0 will actually allow them to start moving forward…
