oh yeah...I only have access to lightwave 5.5 so I have no ideal whats up with 6.0, but I will say this, out of all the people I know who use it (not many) none use it to model in. They all use 3rd party modelers and then import to lightwave to do animations and render. I have heard tho that 6.0 finally handles UV maps so that may make it a lot more popular as that was always the biggest complaint that artists would cry about to me.
