Syflex Cloth for LightWave is being presented at the Syflex booth, across the way from the NewTek booth. The LightWave implementation is a deformation plug in.

the two times i went over to the syflex booth, the first it was empty (well i suppose you gotta eat/go to the bathroom, etc sometime), or it was mobbed
with people - and the maya version was being shown.

the first time when it was empty, the Lightwave version was on the screen but i was too chicken <bleep> to fiddle with it :-) (but so were the other
three guys standing there. heh)

I went over there and the guy was busy talking to some chick. I ask about the Lightwave version and he just told me it works like Maya. That was about it. Not very detail, but then again, I didn't press it either.

I got a pretty good demo from the guy but his thick French? accent made him a little hard to understand. It looks very cool. He said it was like the Maya version except that it was missing a few of the envelope-able controls. But that they were coming. I haven't used LWs ClothFX much, but this seemed to be really nice. There is no calc needed. It updates in near realtime.

Good stuff. Expensive stuff.

[KillMe]

ah ha finally someone got some info - which controls was it missing? - no show killer ones i assume

I got a personal demo from Gerard. Syflex is easy and excellent.
I was curious about doing more than cloth, and within a few seconds, he had set up a soft body and somewhat hard body simulation.
It was fast and accurate. Can't wait for this one! Hoping we can get a demo for my Inside LightWave 9 book...

Hey Dan, you better include this plug-in with your next book:

[KillMe]

ohhhhhh a demo of it would be nice indeed - specially as not currently a student and cant even come close to justifying it commerically

and yup including the plaugin is a good idea - makes uv unwarping so simple its funny - newtek should buy that this instant and include it - its a awesome unwrapper and FAST

[dablan]

I'm just careful what third party apps/demos are put into the book. People then email me, even years later for support and often I can't help. Also, the plug-in developer sometimes removes the site, or doesn't support that app any longer, etc. And, the book is about LightWave so I always try to keep it as native as possible. I've purchased books before, like After Effects, and all the really cool stuff was done with third party plug-ins that I had to buy in addition to the software. That sucked.

[Titus]

Sorry if gone OT.

I understand the problem involving third party plug-ins, just recently got excited with these pelting tools. It's a shame there's some obscurity about the authors, maybe NewTek could talk with them.

[dablan]

Not OT at all. I'm just saying we need to be very careful as to what third party stuff is included. Right now, I'm planning a lot of 3D Garage videos, and Syflex. I have to work out the details with Gerard, but I think it's a good one!

[WCameron]

sweet!

I got a syflex licence and I am using it on lightwave. The results is amazing, So fast, stable, but I got a problem with IK. It's also bas that it does not recognize 2D polys. I'd like to discuss techniques with other syflex users.
