#Lightwave 3d tutorials update#
Welcome to the Lightwave 7.5 Beginners Guide! This Guide is only an update from my Lightwave 6.5 Beginners Guide to suit Lightwave 7.5 the content is pretty much the same, however, a few new additions has been made in the Tutorial section. Since we already have the objects loaded into Layout, we can now start adjusting the scene of how we want the final render to look (If you don't have the objects loaded, click the "Items" Tab at the top of Layout, select "Add -> Load Object",then browse to where you saved it and load it in). As in Modeler, you can now customize almost everything to fit your own needs. This is where you load in the objects you've created, edit lights & cameras, animate things etc. Follow the below link for more details.Īs I mentioned before, the Layout is used for completing your scenes. This will clear the Modeler so we can start over with our new project. Keep your Modeler running, and to the top left, click the "File" pull-down menu and select "Close All Objects". Okay, lets start using Lightwave for real then.

This tutorial will teach how to quickly and easily use Endomorphs to correct skin weighting in Lightwave 7.5. For this excersize you do need to have only a basic experience in Lightwave, so lets just start with it. In the next 20 minutes you will learn how to create a winter landscape. This tutorial will guide you through some quick&easy steps necessary to setup a Global Illumination scene for a care-free compositing. Water is one of the most difficult maps and you can't make one that you can use in all of your scenes, but for the best results you have to create one for every scene. Follow the below link for more details.įirst of all I want to show note I don't want to show just THE way to create a water map. In this Lightwave tutorial, Michael Blackbourn is going to show us how to setup IK Leg.

This tutorial assumes you know the basics of both LW 7.5 sliders and motion mixer 2.0 actors. I will show how to leverage the new weight curves in Motion Mixer 2.0 to create a pose slider set. Model a sphere pressing the ctrl key, so that you can make a perfect sphere then delete the half of the sphere. Follow the below link for more details.įirst let's prepare our objects for the scene. This slider tutorial will cover adding sliders, rigging them to auto hide when not in use, and hooking up multiple channels to a single slider. Lightwave has the so called metanurbs mode which looks like subdivision, but you can model in it like box modeling. Within Lightwave you use kind of a mixture of box modeling and subdivision surface modeling. If you take Maya, 3ds max or XSI, then you have many different modeling methods nurbs, patch, polygone modeling (box modeling) or subdivision surface modeling. In this detialed LightWave tutorial created by Martin Aichner, uses a technique within Lightwave which is very different than modeling with other applications. This article aims to newbies if you're an experienced user you'll probably know what I'm going to say, anyway it could be a nice reading for the intermediate users too! Follow the below link for more details. In this short article I'll talk about the lightwave procedurals and some of the many uses they can have, with a focus on the "FBM noise" and "puffy clouds" lightwave procudurals. Note form Sketchfab: Thanks Phil for the blog post! We’d love to have a LightWave exporter as well, feel free to reach out to if you want to help us with that! And if you feel like making a tutorial blog post for your own favorite 3D package, we’d love to publish it as well.Using Procedurals to dirty up image maps in LW3D

Here is the model in full glory and interactive 3D!

If you like you can also change the background or environment, add ambient occlusion, and even make changes to the materials. Here you can give it a name, description, and tags.

When the model is finished uploading click the new thumbnail image on the Dashboard to open it.

Then, after logging into Sketchfab, go to the Dashboard and click “Add New Model” and upload the Zip file.
#Lightwave 3d tutorials zip file#
Zip file with the OBJ, MTL, and all of the texture images. With your finished model loaded in Modeler go to File > Export > OBJ. If any of your textures are not UV image based, such as procedurals or Surface colors, they will need to be baked into an image. When uploading, your models will need to have only UV mapped images, JPG and PNG are best. Sketchfab is a great way to show off your textured models in full 3D.
