English | Size: 2.6GB
Category: Tutorial

Learn easy modeling techniques and effective lighting and texturing methods to create some Halloween eye candy in the Tim Burton style. After making the component parts we look at how to set up a pleasing composition and use procedural textures, as well as create nighttime lighting with a ghost like feel. Here you’ll learn how to work with different light types, negative lighting and balance light colors to get the right contrast for a moody exterior scene. [Read more…]

SimplyLightwave – Bullet Dynamics in LightWave 11.6 – Volume 5
English | Size: 1.3GB
Category: Tutorial

In the fifth and final part of our Bullet Dynamics series we create the shot with the gun firing the bullet out the front and the shell popping out the side with sparks, dust and smoke. After animating the gun with morph targets and glow, we delve into LightWave’s particle FX for the bullet trail, before rendering and compositing together all the shots for the final sequence. This is a five part series where we take a project-based approach, by creating a sequence of four shots based on storyboards. We look at features of the Bullet dynamics system with rigid body dynamics, parts body dynamics and cloth, and how to control these types to get the desired effects, as well as rendering options with multiple passes for the final compositing. Scene files are provided, so the parts can be watched independently of each other. [Read more…]

SimplyLightWave – Bullet Dynamics in LightWave 11.6 – Volume 4 Cloth Simulations
English | Size: 919.4MB
Category: Tutorial

In the fourth part of our Bullet Dynamics series we create a shot where the bullet enters the shirt cloth and the bleeding starts. For this we set up a multi-stage simulation, first with the bullet hitting, followed by the cloth tearing and folding. Here you’ll learn to time multiple simulations within the same shot and create your own cloth simulations in LightWave. This is a five part series where we take a project-based approach, by creating a sequence of four shots based on storyboards.
