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…

Style your hair guides – ASE Spline Importer for LightWave 3D

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…

A few 2007 updates

Already into February and I haven’t yet posted a blog entry in 2007. The two first months this year have been unbelievable hectic. I had to rearrange a lot of things and start planning how 2007 should work out for me. Anyway, the first blog post of the year is finally here.

The StormDev Website

Software launch is getting close

A new section at the Artstorm site will be launched within the next few days. It’s about my software development projects. I wanted to clearly separate it from the artistic part of the site, and have made a different design for the software projects.
It will contain web applications, Lightwave Plugins and Windows Utilities.
Storm|Stats will be…
