In case anyone else has this issue. I learned that you must rename the Kinect to "KinectOne_A" for the Kinect One device to link up to the rig (in the Layout Device Manager). Makes sense now... I...

HELP! Stuck badly.

I have the kinect working... Device manager in LW 2015.3 sees kinect... Nervon motion installed and registered in LW... I go active with the kinect one example rig... and...

Again thanks for the scene to try.

I get a plug-in missing when I try to load the scene - NodeHandler plug-in not found "TANL_DegreeToRadian". Are you using 3rd party plug-ins or am I missing...

Thanks for the suggestions and the test file. I will try it out.

I have used Relativity for years with no issues in animations 1000s of frames long. Bug seems to have something to do with the...

Hi,

I do a lot of vehicle animation and always use Dr. Wheel rotator in Relativity for wheel rotation.

I setup my vehicle to follow a path set by the new spline control... and my 24 gigs of RAM...

Lightwave tech,

I would like to see a radial selection tool (like Photoshop's). Is there one already that I am missing? Seems like something that would have been in version 1.xxx Have looked,...

Fellow Lightwave users,

Anyone found a good way to do a radial selection of points in one of the ortho views in Modeler? (Like Photoshop's age old radial select from the center while holding down...

Lightwave Community,

I have an animation of a rotating cylinder that must wind a sheet of thick material around it. Basically, how can I animate a thick sheet of something being rolled up onto a...

Great thanks! I have been messing with this for so long now... about to go crazy. Your scene was a big help - the project is finally moving forward! The only thing that I wonder is why Soft body...

I am trying to roll an object over some bumpy ground. The ground is set as a Collision object, the roller disc is set as a soft body. My roller object always goes through my ground object, the...

Thanks for your reply. It seems no matter what my settings it does not work. I set up a very simple simple scene for testing. I need the disc to conform to the bumps as it rolls over them. It...

Having trouble with colliding a Soft Body Dynamic object with another object set as a collision object.

If I use default Collision objects in Layout (plane, etc.) no problem, but if I use my own...

Smarties scene ROCKS! Most impressive... I combine your technique with some info from Larry Shultz's EndoMoprh training (http://www.kurvstudios.com/lightwave/) to make whole objects float. Never...

Yep, that did it. It was set to 25fps. How in the sam hill did it get set to that! Much thanks.

I have a 13.35s WAV audio clip (verified length in 3 other software programs), but if I load it in Scene editor for animation sync LW layout it times to about 11.3s or 340 frames on the timeline. ...

Cool videos. Thanks! I will check out your training videos.

Thanks, I tried some displacement/texture maps in Layout, but the problem is they distort the objects themselves. It seems like there should be a simple way to do it. Any help would be greatly...

Here is the effect that I am after (just the ripple movement)...

How could that movement be duplicated in Lightwave...

Picture this...

1. You have a plane 30 x 30 matrix in layout.
2. Replace each vertex or face with an object (user built)
3. Animate ripples (texture displacement?) through the array of objects...
