Sheffield, UKLightworks is currently exhibiting at the Siggraph computer graphics exhibition in Los Angeles, California.

The Lightworks Team at Siggraph are reporting a great response from visitors to their booth and are thrilled by the reaction they are seeing for their Lightworks Artisan product.  Dave Forrester, CEO at Lightworks, commented; “As always in LA, the crowds coming to the exhibition are vast and we’re delighted by the response we’re seeing from visitors to the Lightworks booth.  People seem genuinely excited by Artisan and understand how its intuitiveness can really help them with their design work.  They’re also keen to become part of the Lightworks Artisan community on www.lightworksartisan.com and we hope that they will find the tools on the site useful to them.”

Partnership with AMD
Lightworks are also demonstrating stereoscopic 3D technology within Lightworks Artisan, a result of their partnership with AMD.  This is showing visitors the improved performance which AMD FirePro graphics cards give to the rendering of stereoscopic 3D models within real-time.

Also on the booth, BeLight Software is demonstrating their implementation of Lightworks Artisan within Render Boost.  Ray East, Marketing Manager at BeLight described how pleased he is with the reaction at Siggraph:  “BeLight is thoroughly excited to be participating with Lightworks at SIGGRAPH this year. The crowd has been amazing, and we’re glad to have the chance to show off Render Boost up close and in person. The feedback has been positive and enthusiastic, and we have gathered a lot of ideas that are going to help progress things even further with the Render Boost plugin.”
