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…
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 files…
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, which allows the viewer…
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 I’d…
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 done…
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 elegant…
The Unofficial LightWave 3D Plugin Section
I’ve recently put up an unofficial plugin section on artstorm. I don’t really code anymore, and I don’t have any intentions to return or dig deeper into the world of coding either these days, as I am just to much in love with my 3D work. But I do from time to time write a…
Life signs… status updates…
There has been some unhealthy long periods of silence between my posts lately. The usual reason, commissioned work has kept me a busy bee. CG artists need to make a living as well – bills, bills and bills – unfortunately.
Some of my paid gigs are interesting and challenging though – gives me opportunities to tune…
Symmetry Correction Plugin for LightWave
Long time, no post. Things are cooking though. Busy busy.
Anyway, I thought I should post a little freebie I coded recently. I’ve acquired a few new computers (Workstation, rendering slaves) and have made the switch to Vista x64 as well as LightWave x64 for 64-bit Windows. Fortunately most of the plugins I rely on are…
The Pod Bay in 3D World Issue 97
3D World issue 97 (December 2007) just went on sale, and I am delighted to have my The Pod Bay image published in this issue.
The Pod Bay was my contribution for the Vue 3D Environment Competition 2007 and ended up in the 3rd place. 3D World Magazine runs a print of the winning images in…
