I'd probably use morphs to do the majority of the animation.

As Shloime correctly says, do NOT render your LightWave animation as a video file (.avi, .mov, .mp4, etc) because these file types require a codec that is capable of utilising an alpha channel and...

You totally nailed that 80s miniature effect.

Gorgeous work.

Are you saying that an ACES workflow in LW would work in the same way as the Linear workflow we already have?

I'm very interested in understanding from you guys, how ACES for LW would differ from LW's existing in Linear Workflow system in a practical sense.

Admittedly, this is the first time I'm hearing...

For your consideration....

It's true that the truth can be unpleasant to hear, but only when it's asked for.

And no-one asked for your "opinion". And opinion is not necessarily the equivalent of truth.

sigh.... Dude, it's these types of comments that help kill the LW community.

It's not cool.

You might want to start here.

Ben Vost created a PDF of LW 2020 but not any earlier versions, but if you continue reading through the thread there are suggestions on ways to make your own copy of...

He shoots.

He scores.

Ahh, well now I know their purpose, then yes I would have a more practical mechanical style of design that was based on geometrical strength and energy conservation/maximisation.



It makes...

I think I would prefer to look at it more along the lines of the Cylon vessels being less of an "artificially designed by the Cylons" and more of a kind of "designed by nature" and a sort of hybrid...

Well in that case, I guess I'd look at it from a "purpose of the vessels" point of view.

The BaseStar, Raiders and Cyclon (Cylon Colony) are all military vessels and are heavily shielded with...

Which of the following are you trying to explore this from:

a) The mindset of the concept art designer
b) The mindset of the Cylon race

I think it would help me to offer an opinion if you...

They said, "I don't have to take this LW abuse from you. I've got plenty of LW users in the NT forums dying to abuse LightWave".

(two points if you can name the movie reference homage)

The only thing wrong with your animation is......

IT'S TOO DAMN SHORT!!!

Thanks for sharing an excellent example of LW's capabilities.

Brilliant work sir.

OOooo. Pretty.

Yeah, I agree. I think this type of motion would require a mutli-layered approach.

I think KScott and Greenlaw's suggestions are great, but the problem I see with these suggestions is with regards to the water pooling at the end of its journey.

The way I'm visualising the...

Well, I never!

How rude.

So say we all.

There seems to have been some changes that have occurred within NewTek since its acquisition by VizRT and since then there have been a LOT of speculation about LightWave's future by individuals who...

Bear in mind, if all you want to do is to create new edge loops, slide them up and down or delete them, then Edit Edges will do that. And you don't have to pay $50 for the priviledge.

Just sayin'.

Yes, a picture or series of pictures would help.

In the meantime it kinda sounds like your talking about a mix between creating edges with Detail Tab>Edges>Edit Edges and Multiply...

Well if that was your point, you hid it well. Nowhere in your OP did you allude that you were asking the question from the perspective of how NewTek should run their business. The perspective you...
