I came across this new renderer that can be used for Lightwave

oh yeah, have received Lightwave v8 in the post the other day – havent upgraded to v8.2.1 yet cause am only on a modem. Running LW on my girlfriend’s iMac g4 1.25ghz – not too bad – i put a 512mb stick in it the other day and is running quite well, until i try to wake it from sleep and i am stuck with a black screen! ahh!
might be heading to Montreal soon – nothing definite
