aw power animator
power animator is what he prolly means.. though maybe not. PA did use to cost 70,000 $usd ..so.. anyway , i wouldnt suggest starting with lightwave. as nice as it is. the most user friendly (easy to use) are 3dsmax and maya. and if i were u , and thinking about getting into this seriously. i would go on maya. lightwave isnt getting far in the industry, it is being used yes. but hardly worked on. the company is very small and low budgeted. max is a good choice also , but maya is a better choice because it is used in higher quality studios because it is the better animator tool.
