Let there be Lightscape
Article Abstract:
Lightscape 3.2 is better than the previous computer-aided design software products from AutoDesk although the radiosity could be improved as it requires raytracing to produce highlights and reflections. The software still requires some expertise to use but the results are very satisfactory. MAX and VIZ users will find Lightscape 3.2 the best option as a rendering application. The software works particular well with Autodesk's other modelling applications. It costs some 595 pounds sterling.
