WTools3D – aka developer Viktor Veličko – has released LWCAD 2020, the new version of the popular modelling plugin for LightWave and Cinema 4D.LightWave users get more tools compatible with the software’s new Mesh TR respresentation of geometry, plus a new mesh topology inspector; Cinema 4D users get better integration with the host software.The LightWave edition of LWCAD 2020 actually came out last year, but the Cinema 4D edition shipped earlier this week, so this seems like a good opportunity to look at both.Powerful polygonal, NURBS and Boolean modelling tools for CAD artists and general users alikeA fixture of many LightWave artists’ toolboxes, LWCAD provides a set of CAD tools within the software, although the plugin is also widely used for general-purpose modelling.It includes tools for editing both polygonal geometry and NURBS surfaces, plus a real-time Boolean system.The Cinema 4D edition is newer, and supports a smaller set of features for polygonal and Boolean modelling.LightWave edition: more tools now compatible with Mesh TRMany of the changes in the LightWave edition of the software are updates to existing features to make them compatible with the software’s new Mesh TR representation of geometry.Introduced in LWCAD 2018.3, it further divides geometry into a series of smaller “special cases”: for example, quad and triangular polygon meshes are handled separately.Mesh TR is intended to help optimise tools for different geometry types, and supports CPU multithreading.Features newly compatible with Mesh TR in LWCAD 2020 include general-purpose tools for offsetting or refining curves and edges, and for freezing NURBS geometry into polygons.The Road tool, which converts networks of covers into procedural road system, has also been reinstated and updated to work with Mesh TR, as shown at 22:45 in the video above.The update also introduces a new tool for inspecting the geometry of Mesh TR surfaces, Topology TR, which shows connections between the curves and edges, and the indices of edges, curve segments and points.It’s intended primarily as a tool for debugging models: for example, to identify disconnected edges.Cinema 4D edition: better integration with the host softwareLWCAD 2020 for Cinema 4D is more of a performance and compatiblity update, with the plugin now fully supporting Cinema 4D n-gons, and more tools recognising Cinema 4D polygon selections.The update also streamlines the plugin’s auto-parenting system and features “huge speed optimisation”.Veličko has also announced that the next major update to the Cinema 4D edition, LWCAD 2021 for Cinema 4D, will bring the plugin’s feature set far more closely in line with the LightWave edition.Feature due to be ported over include the “full NURBS curves system”, and the curves primitives and curves editing tools.Pricing and availabilityLWCAD 2020 is available for 64-bit LightWave 9.6+ on Windows and 64-bit LightWave 10+ on macOS, and Cinema 4D R21+ on Windows and macOS. The old 3ds Max edition was discontinued last year.New licences of LWCAD for LightWave cost $349; new licences of LWCAD for Cinema 4D cost $179.Read a full list of features in LWCAD 2029 for LightWaveRead a full list of new features in

(Image credit: Blackmagic)Blackmagic has launched a much-needed upgrade to its studio camera lineup, which is geared towards TV professionals involved in live production. The new cameras, the Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Pro and the Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Plus, are now available for pre-order for $1,795 and $1,295 respectively.Well, we say "new"; basically the manufacturer has brought together a studio viewfinder and a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K in the same device. So the underlying tech is not that groundbreaking or new. • Read more: Best cinema camerasWhat that means in practice, however, is that you can now get cinematic images in live production, within a compact and lightweight camera. And that could be a game-changer for many video professionals.For the full details of the new releases, watch the launch video from Blackmagic above.What's on offer?(Image credit: Blackmagic)Made from a carbon fiber-reinforced polycarbonate chassis, the cameras boast a sleek and attractive design that contrasts nicely with the big and bulky devices many video professionals are used to.The two cameras have the same look and design, and offer broadly the same capabilities, including the ability to shoot at 4K UltraHD (3840 x 2160) at 60 frames per second.

They also offer up to ISO25,600, a 4K sensor with 13 stops of dynamic range, and are compatible with the best Micro Four Thirds lenses.As you'd expect, the more expensive Pro model is the more richly featured of the two. The big differences here include 12G-SDI (eight times the bandwidth of normal HD-SDI), professional XLR audio, a brighter HR LCD, 5-pin talkback and a 10G Ethernet IP.So why buy the Studio Camera 4K Plus? Well, apart from being cheaper, it's designed to work with the Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro switcher, which eliminates the need for some of the features in the Pro (such as the 12G-SDI input and the XLR audio inputs).Pre-order the Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Pro at Adorama (USA)Pre-order the Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Pro at B&H (USA)Pre-order the Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Plus at Adorama (USA)Pre-order the Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Plus at B&H (USA)Read more: Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K reviewBlackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K reviewBlackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro reviewBlackmagic Ursa Mini Pro 12K reviewBlackmagic ATEM Mini reviewBlackmagic ATEM Mini Pro reviewBlackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve 17 reviewTom May is a freelance writer and editor specializing in art, photography, design and travel.
