Newtek (Lightwave) has just been bought by Vizrt

Anywhere other than the LW community that would be satire @erikals. You forgot Avatar!

I hope more of the LW community stray over here to this thread and while they’re here I urge them to take a look at https://developer.blender.org/ and look at the plans for Blender and the incredible rate of work that’s going on every single day. There’s no years of radio silence it’s all open, honest, warts and all communication. You can see where Blender is heading and you can watch features added and bugs get fixed in real-time.

There are two applications today that give me the same excitement as I had back in the early days of LightWave, Houdini and Blender. That feeling that the devs have got your back and aren’t just doing the work as a job they’re passionate about what they’re doing and that genuine feeling of excitement for the new release, those feelings have long since evaporated over at Newtek.
