There's an endless thread (300 pages) full of speculations about it on newtek's forum... but i'm finding all this pushing the climax a bit annoying...what if on wednesday what they are showing is not worth all the expectations???
I used to be a LWer while beeing student for almost 5 years, but when it came the time to get a commercial license i preferred to bet on modo...
Still now LW is still much widely supported by external engines or alternative renderers than modo and so i am really hoping that LW CORE will be a modern app (unified working environment, instances, fully renewed modeling tools...) so that i will have the chance to flank my last love (modo) with my first one!
