Oh no, you got me all wrong.
I get into trouble all the time here for mentioning Lightwave in a Poser forum. ;-)
No, I love it, not complaining about it at all. If there's anything that bugs me though it's that they're going to Core this year, so it will be a few more years before we have another complete Lightwave release.
I would have liked to have seen one more major release before Core, with some updates, especially in the dynamics department.
Don't get me wrong, Lightwave has excellent dynamics.... once you have it figured out thoroughly. Which I don't. ;-)
I've asked how to do certain things and gotten answers I never would have thought of or expected, and as it turns out, one way or another, everything is possible in LW, if you know your way around it.
No, I'm not complaining, I love LW, been using it since version 7.0.

BTW, I thought you used 3ds max?
