The Modeler Series is designed so that you can find the tool you want to learn about instantly by looking at the name of each video clip. Each tool is broken into its own video for quick and easy reference. Judging from the video above, at least some support gesture controls on Microsoft’s Surface Pro tablet, too. This tutorial contains the full scene files and was done in Lightwave 9.6. This is the sixth volume in a tool-based learning series on Lightwave 9.6s Modeler taught by Lightwave Instructor Adam Gibson. All work with LightWave 9.6 and above on Windows and Mac OS X. Prices range from $39 for Heat Shrink Plus to $199 for Cage Deformer, or you can get all five for $299. Meta Mesh is a kind of souped-up metaball modelling tool, and seems to join arbitrary geometry seamlessly, not just conventional blobby primitives.Īnd Heat Shrink Plus is a shrinkwrap tool along the lines of the toolset provided for Maya by digitalRaster’s NEX: useful for clothing or armour, or even for retopologising more complex models. I have now tried different settings but the results are really bad when trying to open them in the same old version of Lightwave 3D 9.6 as I have used successfully earlier when working with DAZ3D exported fbx files. The former looks particularly interesting for character animation, with the demo video above showing it in use to create squash-and-stretch effects, either driven by an underlying rig, or via completely free deformation.īoolean Tool is also just that: a real-time interactive Boolean tool, capable of some complex cutaway effects. There isn’t a lot of information on the firm’s website, but Cage Deformer and Lattice Deformer are pretty self-explanatory, and permit interactive deformation of models through a surrounding cage or lattice. Real-time deformation, Booleans and retopology Japanese developer 3rd Powers has released five new LightWave power modelling tools: Cage Deformer, Lattice Deformer, Meta Mesh, Boolean Tool and Heat Shrink Plus.
