• Added “Zard” to the Posers gallery and the WIP. This is my first “real” project done using Lightwave. To be honest, I’ve spent too many hours re-rendering different views of this one (using different settings) and I think it’s time to move on. Someday I’LL be good enough to model my own person using Lightwave, but for now I just wanted to learn some lightning techniques and special effects. I hope you like it even though it’s only a “training” piece.

  I’ve rounded out my software toolkit by purchasing a few more Lightwave plugins. Here’s the scoop on what I have so far and what I will be getting in the next few days (the first link you click will open a new window and each of the others will load in the same window if you leave it open):

  • World Builder
  • Hypervoxels 2.0
  • Particle Storm 2.0
  • RealFlow
  • Creature Creator
  • Metagroove
  • Aqua-Pack
  • Blow Up and Shatter
  • Vertilectric
  • Surface Effectors DSFX
  • Advanced Gradient Controls
  • last but not least, I’ll be getting the upgrade to Lightwave 6 when it comes out.

  I may also purchase plugin called “Digital Nature Tools“, but I want to see if World Builder has the features I want before I spent another $700. I just wanted you to know where your membership fees are going 🙂
