I've made several bumps and sports promos for broadcast use and LightWave
doesn't lack _anything_ in the image quality dept. (As long as you output
via the PAR, single-frame or exabyte/abekas, that is --- the T4000's
HAM-8 anims _do_ look cheesy.)
The main factor is how much time you're prepared to spend mastering the
program. (LIGHTWAVE PRO is almost indispensable in that regard.)
The only caveat I can think of is the Amiga 4000: kinda slow without
an accelerator of some sort -- not to mention a possibly unsupported
and extinct machine. :(
But as far as LightWave goes... I Like it! I Like it!
