LightWave 3D是由美國NewTek公司開發的一款高性價比的三維動畫制作軟件, 它的功能非常強大,是業界為數不多的幾款重量級三維動畫軟件之一。LightWave 3D從有趣的AMIGA開始,發展到今天的9.0版本,已經成為一款功能非常強大的三維動畫軟件,支持WINDOWS，MAC OS 32位，64位。LightWave 3D軟件目前最新的版本是2008年5月16日發布的LightWave 3D v9.5
LightWave 3D被廣泛應用在電影、電視、游戲、網頁、廣告、印刷、動畫等各領域。它的操作簡便，易學易用，在生物建模和角色動畫方面功能異常強大；基於光線跟蹤、光能傳遞等技術的渲染模塊，令它的渲染品質幾盡完美。它以其優異性能倍受影視特效制作公司和游戲開發商的青睐。當年火爆一時的好萊塢大片《TITANIC》中細致逼真的船體模型、《RED PLANET》中的電影特效以及《恐龍危機2》、《生化危機-代號維洛尼卡》等許多經典游戲均由LightWave 3D開發制作完成。
