Lightwave Tutorials Gokstad class Viking attack vessel By Karl Stocker Build this historically accurate viking ship using spline modeling techniques. Subdivision Modeling of a Human By Peter Ratner Subdivision modeling is a procedure for creating smooth models while keeping the total polygon count at a low level. Point counts are small so that the sculpting process is less confusing. New software developments, such as those in Maya and XSI, offer more robust subdivision modeling tools, an improved interface, and the ability to render objects without converting them to high polygon models. This makes a compelling argument for implementing subdivision modeling. Deformations and Movement By Dan Ablan Throughout Inside LightWave 7, you've learned different techniques, tips, and tricks. You've learned about keyframing and the Graph Editor. You've learned about organic modeling and lighting. This chapter takes you a step further into organic animation. Organic animation in LightWave is more than just moving a ball from point A to point B. It is the blending of points and the changing of shapes. It is movement and timing. You'll use tools within Modeler and LightWave to deform objects into different shapes. Creating Plants and Flowers In this tutorial, I hope to demonstrate how easy it is to create detailed flowers and plants that will add a great deal to an image (assuming the image calls for them, of course). This tutorial requires a thorough awareness of the tools in Lightwave and Photoshop as well as a basic knowledge of how to use them.
