BSG: Blood and Chrome uses LIGHTWAVE!

From Doug Drexler himself, as posted on Facebook:

...ummm Yeah. What did you think they used? BTW, I saw that on FB too ;)

[Commodore-SirJohn]

I'm just honoring Drexler's request for reposts.

As for what I thought they used, I would have thought they'd migrated to one of the other industry standards, like many of the SFX houses have...

[Darrell Lawrence]

Lightwave *is* the FX standard program. Foundation Imaging used LW on Babylon 5 and Star Trek, as did EdenFX, and when Zoic was formed after FI went bye-bye, they used LW on the nuBG, of which Blood and Chrome is ;)

The other commonly used program is Maya.

[Commodore-SirJohn]

Okay, okay. I was under the impression that most of the FX houses had migrated to other platforms.

I stand corrected.

[Darrell Lawrence]

Nah. Few people actually do know that. Good subject for... errrmmm discussion :lol:

BTW, I gave you a shout out over there on FB.

[Commodore-SirJohn]

I saw it. Thanks!

Also, check out my "24th Century House" photo album over there (it's public, so it should be viewable by anyone). It's the closest I've ever come to Sean Robertson's quality...
