I am really getting a mental workout with this project I'm working on. I haven't done this much Lightwave work in awhile and now I'm back in the thick of it....
I don't know if this helps or not but sometimes instead of clip maps I make a selection in Photoshop, turn the selection into a path and export paths to...
If you can, I'd render several (even a lot!) of HV sprite passes for differing densities of smoke, and comp, and likewise the fire. I gave up doing this kind...

... Yeah, Mike you're going straight to hell for this one..... : ) At this point in time it seems that it is a wait and see thing. Yes it would be nice to have...

Been said ad nauseam--but Particle Illusion is the way to go, for smoke, fire, sparks fx. It's just SO easy, and elegant in results--and it renders in very...
I think perhaps you are referring to this shot: http://www.newtek.com/lightwave/gallery/displayimage.php?album=5&pos=24 To get that thick, sculpted look I...
... another file format for working with Lightwave? The idea is to be able to use vector drawings as textures, without first rasterizing them at a fixed...
... Perhaps but this topic occurs on a regular basis so ad nauseam aside. The smoke effects on that B17 ironically were done in Particle Illusion (at least...
... Actually I didn't know that. Recently watched the remake of Manchurian Candidate, and I could tell that the Iraqi oil fires were Pillusion--they were...
Unless you need 3d particles, 3d camera motion, or 3d particle motion. Then you're stuck with HV. ... From: "John Michael McCool" <mikemcoo@...> To:...
If you are talking about that shot, I can tell you what was used because we made that shot. It was not done with Particle Illusion. However, we had a similar...

Good question...... I have heard great things about Dark tree but since it is not available for my platform have no need for it. Some how we have managed to...
Actually I've been wondering about this new texture tree in LW9 - could that be something like Dark Tree? I've got Dark Tree anyway, and wouldn't be without...

I'm enjoying it, too. The only issues I've encountered have been black blocks appearing when anisotropy is used, and not being able to disable the raytrace +...

You're welcome Don, hope it helps. You can see the fruits of our tests there for the movie "Hart's War" or on our demo reel (www.pixelmagicfx.com). The B-17...
