Only certain types of image file formats support Alpha channels. In your post, the PScone.jpg *appears* to have transparency (the tiny gray-and-white squares portion), but JPG file format doesn't...

I still don't have a good idea of what you're really trying to accomplish. You can use deformations on the "base object" for the instancer, but all the instances will deform the same. The Time...

I'm not sure what you're really after, but you can use a node setup in the Instancer to displace the instances using a Procedural Texture, which is then scaled by a Weight Map. Sample LW2015 scene...

Particles, HVs and an Animation Path wind, maybe? A very quick-n-dirty LW2015 scene attached. I'll leave it up to the PBR experts to use LW2018 volumetrics instead of HVs, if desired. I *used* the...

This page:

describes the -font command line option for Modeler, and gives a few examples. You provide command line...

It may not meet your needs, but an old-school approach to an atmosphere gradient (e.g. around a planet) is to combine two Edge Transparency shaders, one with its mode set to Opaque and the other with...

I don't see any documentation PDF download available on my account page for LW2020, and I don't intend on buying LW2020. Is this available for LW2019? If it's not available for LW2019, can the...

The interrogation room became silent as Bob bowed his head in pain and embarrassment. "They ask me to do things I don't want to, but the way they ask leaves me no choice!"

Detective Mason knew he...

FYI, this has been resolved. It was a combination of two things: some outdated application behavior rules in my antivirus software (deleted and re-created), and executing the Lightwave configure...

No, this is a forum "bug" or behavior. If you use particular strings of characters, the forum utility puts a space in it.

No luck.

Removed config folder, restarted, drag-n-drop license to splash screen

I have been using LW2015 and LW2019 without a problem (haven't upgraded to 2020 and won't), although I haven't tried it in several weeks.

Now, with no changes at all to my LW configuration, LW...

Probably not your issue, but my most common problem with Preview AVI output breaking was to accidentally leave the output format set to "AVI (sound)", which is the default for some bizarre reason -...

DebugDiag might be helpful in that the TXT file generated contains the stack information rather than just the top-level exception. Often, the top-level exception is caused by bad / corrupted data...

Here's a sample LW2015 scene with a basic SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) setup I posted years ago as part of one of the Speed Modeling challenges. Sadly, that post along with many others were...

For non-intersecting instances, I've used the Merge Points with a Fixed distance to eliminate points that are "too close" for the instanced geometry.

For example, the image posted in #1 looks...

Glad it worked for you! Have fun!

Weird, I was *sure* I uploaded the ZIP file with the sample scene, but it doesn't show up above. Here it is.

You may be able to use a rectangular Projection Image on the Spotlight to shape it the way you need. Sample LW2019 scene attached.

I have trouble visualizing what you're trying to do. What is the real-world application and can you post real-world links (or images) for examples? Is this some kind of ship rig?

A simple Bullet setup might work for you, which only takes a few minutes to model and set up. Sample LW2015.3 scene attached.

I use a 48" flatscreen Sony Bravia HDTV (KDL-48W600B) set in "Graphics Mode" in the TV's "Scene Select" for the PC's HDMI input (to reduce / eliminate latency) and I sit about 4' away from it. I...

There are some procedurals which have built-in motion, like Ripples. Go through the problem texture, disable each layer by unchecking the checkmark in the left column until you find the one that...

Yes, I've used DP Marker Pen quite a bit and really like it. The caveat is that it sometimes crashes Layout when you try to Copy & Paste the settings, like from the Color channel to the Bump...
