I did mess with Lightwave a bit but never got proficient. I cut my teeth on Imagine for the Amiga. IIRC it was like 2-3 hours to render a single frame of a starship flyby animation I made. I remember it took me a couple weeks to render the whole thing.
I only ever did it for fun though. I actually have a lot of respect for those artists. It’s a lot harder than it looks.
Oh definitely, there's really no point besides testing your skills or maybe out of curiosity. But I honestly would suggest giving it a red hot go to any young animators out there. It may look like shit but hey, you can say you've struggled with the OGs

Oh boy, you want a wild ride try animating with Light wave
It'll really test your skills, plus it honestly gave me a bit of animation insight

I used to love the Eyewitness Guides books when I was a kid. Had no idea that it existed as a show as well.

That fucking theme song lives rent-free in my head from watching those Eyewitness episodes back in school. Such a great flute.
