Any hope for Lightwave users?

:(  Yo. I've been wondering why there is hardly any job post ( freelance,fulltime and freebie)on Lightwave. Does this mean that there is no hope for the Lightwave users? I have been learning the demo software of Lightwave and have plans for purchase but due to this problem,I am having a second thought. This is disturbing because everywhere I go it is 3D studio that is required, so what the heck happened to Lightwave, can somebody give me some hint before I spend some crap load of $$$$ on a software that won't take me nowhere ?

Posting this all over eh? If you have a good reel, you'll be able to find work. Lightwave is used in many many places, behind the scenes, but you need to be open to learning new software wherever you end up working.

yea, but  he is right that there are far less job openings for lw users than users from other packages.

:-[ Wait a second! What just happened here? I posted this months ago and have never done any posting till date. How  did that end up here? How could this possibly be here when I haven't done any posting ? Is there a kind of terrible mistake or is someone fking around with stuff?

There are plenty of jobs out there that use Lightwave in the field. You have it used in feature films like Black Hawk Down, Jimmy Neutron, Blade 2, Heart's War, Kung Pow, Scooby Doo. Ect. Check out the list at

When someone posts a reply the thread gets bumped up to the top of the list.

If it is freelance work get a convertor like 3D Exploration. Then you can replie to job posts regardless of the format they require. Let them know you use lightwave but can convert. 99% of the time they dont care how you make it the just want it ;) This has gotten me a ton of jobs. But as was stated above be open to learning new software. If you want to work in features it seems the Maya and Softimage are the way to go. I recently started trying to learn these after using Lightwave for 7 years.

I'am new to this but I have found tons of jobs for Lightwave artists. From what I see so far they are better paid then 3ds jobs as well ( but not as numerous ).

What a great idea!! i'ld like to know more how many people you met on 1st sept, i'm quite late to see this blog.
