Being a LightWorks Material Supplier |
About Us |
|
LightWork Design
is the world's leading supplier of rendering solutions for
developers of advanced 3D computer graphics software. Our
product, LightWorks, is embedded in over 80 software applications

LightWorks |
|
LightWorks is renowned throughout the CAD
industry as one of the best renderers in the world. Our internal
technical expertise, coupled with our vast range of partnerships
in a wide variety of industries has ensured us staying at
the forefront of the industry, and looking at some of the
images that can be produced by our software, it's easy to
see why...

The Content Strategy |
|
The idea behind directly supplying Content
to our million-plus professional
designers, is to fulfil a need by them to visualise and specify
real world materials. In the past, designers have been happy
with a generic brick pattern on the outside of their building
designs, or a general colour on their interior walls. Now
people want specific materials that, once the design brief
is complete, can then be ordered and used to complete the
contract in the real world, with the knowledge that the final
contract will look exactly like the original design.

The LWA-LightWorks Combination |
|
So
in order to take full advantage of the ability for LightWorks
to replicate the real world in a digital form, we created
the LightWorks Archive (LWA) file
format, a proprietary platform-independent
, application-independent
, secure
digital file format designed specifically for the creation
and secure distribution of real world digital Content. This
file format has the capability of containing an infinite range
of real world materials, from colour
libraries , to metals
, through to plastics
, though to flooring
– it allows us to cover the entire spectrum of architectural
and design materials, and allow users of over 80 LightWorks-based
applications to begin creating real world digital designs
and specifications. |
Supplier Opportunities |
|
 Simply put, becoming a LightWorks Content Supplier gives a company the opportunity to get its materials, in a digital form, in front of over a million CAD users worldwide. And the process is very simple. Once the Supplier has chosen a selection of ranges of materials, they can then pass them on to us in an appropriate format, e.g. digital photographs, along with a representative selection of physical samples. We will then convert them, in-house, into our LWA digital format, and publish them on our website (www.lightworks-user.com), publicising their existence to external parties.
Once on the user website, these can then be downloaded, by our professional designers, who can then use them in their design briefs.
|
The Future |
|
Currently the process necessitates us being passed digital input from the Suppliers, for us to then author and publish on our own website. However, we are now starting to work with our Suppliers to give them the option of authoring their own materials themselves, handing over control of the whole creation process, along with the resultant materials archives. If this is something that you may find of interest, then contact us , and we’ll be happy to talk through the possibilities with you.

Contact Us |
|
If you are a supplier and would like to have the opportunity of having your
products published in LWA format, contact
us. If you already have a selection of materials in mind
for distributing in a digital format, we will be very happy
to give you a personal demo. In the meantime, we have put
together a selection of Case
Studies to give you an idea of what we can do for you.
