This is the best 3d program out there for its price range. Sure there are many better programs out there, but you need a second or third mortgage to purchase them. There are so many improvements to v6 compared to the previous versions its mind boggling. I suggest checking out Newtek's home page for a detailed list. One thing that i noticed the most, is that it is much easier to use than its predicessor. Many functions have been simplified. There are numerous hotkeys added which save you a lot of time hunting around for a certain function. If you are serious about 3d, i really recommend this program!

4.0 out of 5 stars Make sure you get a Dongle, April 3, 2010

I believe the software is pretty great. I just bought one off ebay, advertised as Ver. 6. In actuality, it was merely an UPGRADE from 5.6, and hence, does not have a Dongle included.
The software will not run, without the dongle. So now I am looking everywhere to find one. Lightwave software people will sell me a new dongle for a mere $200. Their own tech dept thought it would only cost about $25. Anyone out there want to sell a good working 5.6 dongle, cheap?
