I'm using, or was using LW 9.6 and recently changed my startup settings in Windows. Now LW consistently crashes or wont open. When I insert the program disc...

I'm animating a basketball player running along a straight line, bouncing the ball, etc. When I started, I realized that by rotating the various body nulls,...
Maybe I'm using the wrong terms, Larry. When you animate a walk, the character moves away from the character object's pivot point, doesn't it? At frame zero,...
Maybe I'm not following you, Greg. You refer to a character and a character object as separate entities, and that's confusing to me. I don't do a lot of...
This is probably a no-brainer but it's late and my brain stopped working hours ago. I have an HV sprite particle emitter that is working nicely in a longish...
I think you are ending up struggling with the rig you have built for, as you can see, little positive effect. One way you do it, and I think that Larry would...

Stacking nulls would be helpful if the object was having gimbal lock problems, which it doesn't sound like it is. Instead, the mesh is being animated away from...
Moving away from the null also is including more mathematics to resolve the IK. The further away from the central point of the character, the more the object...

I thought it was here that I was just reading a discussion on this but I can't find it. I thought you could use a PSD as an image map and the transparency...
Works here. Are you rendering it, or just looking at it in modeler or layout? I made a white circle as a layer over transparency. Applied to a red cube (using...
Thanks! lol I sure did try with that render time though. I just had a really hard time believing the first guy said he did it in 1min 42sec. I did have it at...

I wanted to show this off here since I used Lightwave to model it. I converted the file to STL and e-mailed it to a guy who has access to a 3D printer. This...
