Transfer By UV Released
A short post, quick heads up. I just released Transfer By UV, a variation of the recently released Conform By UV Lee Perry-Smith and I put together. We had already talked about getting more data pushed between meshes this way, and when also Timothy Albee asked if Weight Map transfers could be added to the…
Conform By UV Released
Here’s another release available for download. Conform By UV is a plugin that I’ve developed together with Lee Perry-Smith who came up with all the ideas and also contributed with the logo and testing. The concept behind this LightWave 3D modeler addition is to be able to use a base mesh and conform it to…
Render Presets Plugin for LightWave 3D
I just released Render Presets, another free plugin for LightWave 3D. It lets you manage a library of common rendering related settings to quickly organize, apply or switch between them. This started out as a script I wrote a long time ago when I worked with a project where I constantly needed to change between…
modo 401 Script: Export Selected To OBJ
I just released a small Python script for modo to export the selected layer(s) to an OBJ file. There were a few layer to OBJ scripts available for modo but none that worked like I wanted or properly with modo 401. I needed this functionality badly right now to bring layers out as separate OBJ…
Turntable Viewer Version 2
I’ve just released version 2 of my Turntable Viewer to showcase rendered turntable clips on the web. Major new features in version 2 are: Implemented a loader for jpg/png/gif image sequences. Implemented a theme option to create a custom theme for the viewer. Included better documentation. Changed to a more flexible Creative Commons license agreement,…
Turntable Viewer for Flash released
I just released my flash Turntable Viewer, to be downloaded and used on your own site if you wish. I’ve got several requests about it lately, so today I made the ‘quick-n-dirty’ release. With quick and dirty I refer to that I haven’t had time to write any proper documentation or add all features that…
Color Management for CG Artists Update
I’ve made a massive update to the Color Management article I posted about a month ago, now it spans a whopping 8 pages. The article is expanded with a full color managed workflow for LightWave 3D with display proofing, a generic color managed workflow for all other 3D applications that lacks full color management. A…
Turntable – Give the model a spin
I love turntables, I think they are an excellent way to display a model. I got inspired of what Pixologic did with their ZBrush turntable gallery, so I dusted of my old flash knowledge and implemented a turntable function, as I was anyway doing some fine tuning to the site design. If you want to…
Style your hair guides – ASE Spline Importer for LightWave 3D
LightWave 3D has some excellent rendering options for hair, the native FiberFX as well as the Sasquatch plugin from Worley Labs. Unfortunately the actual creation and styling of hair guides is still a bit cumbersome in LightWave, which is a shame really as the quality of the renders can be of outstanding quality. FiberFX has…
Fix Symmetry Plugin for LightWave 3D
Fix Symmetry is a LightWave 3D modeler script I wrote for my own personal use some time ago. I recently polished it a bit by giving it a decent GUI and some more options, so I could release it. I hope some of you might find the tool useful in your workflow. It’s a more…
