Inspiring Projects

Just ask Artist/Director Shuhei Morita, whose Oscar® nominated animated short film "Possessions" was created entirely in LightWave 3D. Morita appreciates the ease of use LightWave offers and uses it in the production of many popular anime television series, including "Tokyo Ghoul."

“It is easy to see the strengths and skills of artists when they use basic LightWave features. We could easily create animation by taking advantage of plug-ins or new cool feature sets, but I want our staff to keep sight of the artist vs. the tool. With LightWave, I can quickly figure out an artist’s skill level and individual style. Another benefit? New artists can quickly start using LightWave—it becomes their electronic pencil and there is no need for extensive training.“ – Shuhei Morita
