Ex-Toaster App Cooks for Game Maker
-- by Lynn Ginsburg
Eric Gooch, senior animator at game developer Westwood Studios, started with LightWave when it was still part of the Amiga's Video Toaster system. Westwood produces such successful titles as Red Alert, Command and Conquer, and Lands of Lore. LightWave was the first 3-D animation program that Gooch used. "I found LightWave very easy to pick up, even with my noncomputing background," he says. "When you're new to 3-D animation, any 3-D program is pretty intimidating at first. But I really started getting the hang of LightWave quickly."
When LightWave came out with its first Windows version, Gooch persuaded his boss to buy a PC running the program. "I liked the look of the new LightWave for Windows so much I made a deal with my boss that I'd buy the machine from the company if it didn't work out," Gooch remembers. "He went for that and we never looked back."
