The Lightwave 6.5/7.0 Project Handbook. Cd-Rom Included (Graphics Series) - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

NewTek's Lightwave is a multi-platform, 3D modelling, animation, and digital effects program. Its powerful effects can be seen in movies like "Titanic", "Men in Black", and "The Fifth Element", and with each new release, the program becomes faster and more powerful. To harness this power, animators need guidance and practice that allows them to investigate new features and functionality while working on real projects. This text is written to provide this practice through real-world examples and in-depth tutorials. The book contains over 50 tutorials designed to give both new and experienced users a solid foundation in the basic animation tools as well as the more advanced special effects functions. All of the modelling, texturing, and lighting procedures are also thoroughly covered through practical applications. The structure of this book allows users to jump around from topic to topic as they need, or from beginning to end. The book: covers all of Lightwave's new lighting, modelling, texturing and animation tools; provides in-depth examples of common animation tasks; and contains over 50 in-depth tutorials that explore Lightwave's power. The companion CD-ROM includes all of the files needed to complete the projects within the book with worked through examples, variations, and sample animations
