modo 401 is here! Yey!
I just wanted to share my joy, modo 401 was released today. Woohoo! I’m downloading my update as I type and am very excited to take this new baby for a spin. Thank god that Luxology utilizes BitTorrent for a release like this, otherwise I guess the download would take forever with all the modonauts …
LightWave 3D video tutorial – Using TrueArt’s EasySplit
A few days ago I got a question in relation to the article I posted some months back, tips to speed up the modeling workflow in LightWave, concerning the TrueArt’s plugins that I use. How I actually incorporate them in my workflow.
So I thought it would be a nice idea to make a video tutorial on …
It’s here, LightWave 3D 9.6
LightWave 3D 9.6… Woohoo! I just wanted to add a quick shout that version 9.6 has been released today and is available for download over at NewTek.
I’m so happy with this release, as about every quirk I had with 9.5 is gone. Actually there is over 600 fixes and feature requests implemented in 9.6. It’s …
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 …
LightWave 3D – A great speed modeling application
About a year ago, I wrote a post about customizing modeler, since then I’ve completely switched to a 64-bit environment and with LightWave 9.5 just released, it was about time for an updated version.
LightWave 3D was once known as the fastest polygon and subdivision modeler on the market. The modeling workflow was considered one of …
LightWave 3D 10 – Top Ten Wish List
LightWave 3D 9.5 was just released. An excellent update to the current LightWave cycle, which I am extremely pleased with. And with the promised hotfix/service release (9.5.1 maybe?), that should arrive shortly, fixing the minor things that didn’t make it to the Siggraph release (which I hope includes fixes for the FBX bone export and …
LightWave 3D 9.5 Released
Siggraph is over for this year, and as always there’s been plenty of announcements and releases within our industry this week. Vue 7 and ZBrush 3.5 was announced and I’m looking forward to further information about these releases, especially the new ZBrush release, which I suspect will be awesome, once again! The new Mudbox version …
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 …
Color Management in LightWave – Second Attempt
Just a quickie…
I’ve been developing my workflow for my film project for some time. I want to have a rock solid pipeline setup so when I go full blast I can aim all my focus at the creative parts. So far I’ve concentrated mostly on the asset exchange, getting meshes and animations in and out …
