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 Video Tutorial
Lee Perry-Smith (Infinite Realities) has made a really nice mini video tutorial running for around 25 minutes demonstrating the usage of Conform By UV. Lee talks about the different modes, showing how and when to use it and runs through some practical examples with a few character models. Lots of good information if you’re interested…
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…
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…
Skin and hair updates on Elly + bonus FiberFX script
I had some time tonight to make a few small updates to Elly. It’s getting closer to completion. Here’s the latest render test, the hair definitely needs more work… I didn’t have so much time to work with this tonight, but since yesterday I have done a few things anyway. I cleaned up some more…
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…
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…
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…
