Although we are already well into the year, this is our first newsletter of 2006, and so we begin by sending you greetings for 2006. We hope that it will be a successful year for you and your business and we are sure that you will be excited by the many new developments and advances which are planned for LightWorks throughout this year.

Our first news announcement is the launch of our new LightWork Design website. We hope that this will provide you with all the information you need about our industry-leading LightWorks rendering engine. You can look at the new site by going to www.lightworkdesign.com

If you have any questions about items in this newsletter, or would like any further information about LightWorks or LightWork Design, please contact our Marketing Manager.

LightWorks Configuration Solution
LightWork Design has created a solution designed specifically to meet the demands of the Configuration market place. This provides application developers with a complete solution for integrating powerful, easy-to-use rendering and visualisation technology into their Configuration applications. By using LightWorks, these applications will meet the needs of the many kitchen, bedroom and bathroom designers as well as configuration and point-of-sale staff who use 3D software. To learn more about this, go to the Configuration area of our website or look at the new Configuration galleries.

Arc Technology
We are pleased to announce a collaboration with Arc Technology, developers of the ARC+ software application, one of the leaders in the architectural CAD software industry, used by more than 30 000 users worldwide. The collaboration with LightWork Design will see the full capabilities of the LightWorks rendering engine being integrated within Arc+ to give these users even higher quality rendering within their architectural design work.

Nemetschek NA
The new version of RenderWorks 12 from Nemetschek NA, includes the integration of a number of advanced LightWorks rendering features, providing users with an "unbeatable rendering" system which can meet the demands of the market place. An integral element of the new RenderWorks release is the introduction of radiosity, part of the LightWorks Global Illumination product which "takes maximum advantage of LightWork Design's deeply powerful radiosity technique."

Fukui Computer Inc.
The new release of ARCHITREND Z from Fukui Computer Inc has been upgraded to use the latest version of LightWorks, including the latest radiosity technology which gives users the capability to create even more realistic images with their Fukui software. In addition to this, Fukui has chosen to extend use of the LightWorks rendering engine to include their ARCHITREND Virtual House product. ARCHITREND Z and ARCHITREND Virtual House are the latest applications to become LWA-Enabled, giving users access to a wide range of real-world digital materials.

"We chose LightWorks because we wanted to give our users the best possible product. We are delighted with the results we have seen and these exceed all of our initial expectations. The LightWork Design support team have helped us to rapidly integrate LightWorks within Arc+."
Salvo Barbera, Development Director at Arc Technology

"The technology we licensed from LightWorks is a huge step forward for the lighting and photorealism in RenderWorks 12. Users can now create renderings that are much more compelling with even greater depth."
Dave Donley, RenderWorks Lead, Nemetschek North America
