My favorite program is Lightwave, and has been for years. Lightwave is split in two packages, Layout and Modeler, and that’s the main reason why I started using it. Other people hate this solution. Please don’t expect very advanced animation technics and tutorials, I just do what I need for simple video and films.

This is my favorite Lightwave Layout setup:

• 1 Top: Camera View
• 3 Bottom: Top, Right and Perspective

This example shows you my never-ending project Startrek Voyager.
