*IMPORTANT - I highly recommend that if you are going to purchase the .lwo model that you upgrade to Lightwave 11.6.x The original model and scene were compiled in LW 11.6 and because 11.6 introduced some newer built-in nodes, older versions may display errors and not produce the same results.

If you are using LW 11.5.1 or 11.0.3, you will be able to download and upgrade to 11.6 from your accounts section at the lightwave3d website

If you do decide to purchase this model for use with a previous version of Lightwave, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE PURCHASING:

1. You will need to download and read the supporting PDF 'Rectify_InputNode_errors_with_previous_versions_of_Lightwave'

2. Render times for older versions may take longer than those stated above.

3. Linear lights in north/south entrance halls have been changed to Point lights for vers 10.1 and 9.6 - final renders may look different.

4. **Versions 10.1 and 9.6 do not include the new native Instancer and therefore will not display instanced geometry (so stadium seats, handrails and external ramp lights) or the random colour texture (as seen in the rendered images). The placeholders and instance geometry for each is included. However, you should only purchase this model for use with 10.1 or 9.6 if you know how to re-setup instancing using third party plugins like HD Instance or DP Instance.

5. OBJ version includes all stadium geometry in one file, apart from main stadium seats. They can be downloaded as additional OBJ zip files and due to the massive about of geometry, are split into upper/lower tier and north/south divide. There is a version for open seats and closed (folded) seats. Each separate seat consists of quad polys and will need to be converted to tris or subdivided in your native 3d package to render correctly.

6. Please make sure your PC/Mac can handle large amounts of geometry.
