The GI object dissolve "popping" issue (the moment the opacity of the object goes below 100%) is something that, as far as I can tell, emerged in 9.0. It is...
Hi, I have question relating to this matter. So, no answers here. Sorry, Fernando. I have tried to set up network rendering but the nodes always fail to find ...
Hi everybody.... I got some files in *.dwg, from (I believe) Autocad, to ake an animation for a client, but unfortunatelly, the budget won't allow me to buy a...
yup, I just did this actually and I'm working with the file in LWCAD now. You can use the A9 Converter or A9CAD, both free from www.a9tech.com. I used the...
Thanks Phil, you're always there!!!! great solution, I'll proceed to get this beauty..... Fernando. ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
There is still an evaluation version of Rhino 4. It will save 25 times then won't anymore. But that should be more than enough for you to load this in and save...
I don't think that issue is related with an specific LW version, but with the way we work. I've noticed I don't have that problem because I don't use LW...
... Oh freakin' great! Well, we finally got to the CAUSE of the BUG, but too late. I'm not about to a week and a half rerendering 1500 frames of the 2000 (6...

I have to make an animation of a big terrain, with some cities that the camera has to fly by, as a car/helicopter, and my client sent some CAD files for the...
Can anyone point me to a tutorial for writing an expression? I'm trying to make an altimeter that works based on a null position. If I raise the null on the Y...
Look at Relativity... I believe there is a "Dr Dial" in there... And get the Relativity docs for some help. ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
One of the best ways to write expressions is to use the "append to expression" option you get when you right-click a channel in the graph editor bin. So to do...

I got this mail back, so I'll send it again..... Anyone has some experience animating terrains, using DEM files in LW, what's the best way to do this? I'm...
Is there a way to disable photoreal motion blur (or any blur for that matter) on an object that uses an expression to drive a morph (think tank tread or bike...
Hey Dean, Off the top of my head, how about baking the motion to an MDD file? Bring the MDD file back in and apply it using one of the point deformers. Some ...
Sorry Dean, scratch that. There was once a version of PointOven that didn't calculate MDD motion blur but only because the developer left the switch off. It...
Render the chain in one pass, render the rest in another. In the chain pass include any objects that might come between the chain and the camera, and check the...
Solution depends on your scene. Multipass rendering is a good option, however if you don't have many objects and other objects don't have any displacement...
I'm just thinking: is the 0% keyframe on your morph envelope stepped rather than tcb/linear/bezier? If it is there shouldn't be any motion blur problems.....
Yep, that's the way like it supposes it should work, but in this specific case, it depends a lot on the expression configuration that is driving the morph....
Hey Bob! Thanks for the link to the awesome tutorial. I just now had a chance to view and work with it. I have used write on before but this totally changed ...
If the client has access to or can generate all those topographic flavors (I did a google search and didn't find much in the way of just what aux, rrd, and tfw...
Actually I have an idea what the *.aux, *.rrd & *.twf files are, I believe, a form of image file used for geographic/geospacial programs, I don't think they...
Thanks Dean and Scott, the problem is that the client's provider can't save the data as DEM, and I can't contact them personally ( stupid politics), but...
