A Roundup of LightWave Community and Industry News
Power Artist: DJ Waterman (https://www.lightwave3d.com/news/article/from-cartoons-to-cars/)
While most men dream of owning and driving cool cars, Australian artist DJ Waterman likes building them in LightWave. Whether it's a VW Beetle, Alpha Romeo, or Mini-Cooper, bringing 3D cars to life has been a long-time passion for this artist. From modeling with Sub-Ds or the Shear tool to surfacing, texturing and lighting, Waterman knows how to utilize the features of LightWave to create the cars of his dreams.
LightWave 11.5 in Action (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODcc9VqQi1A&feature=youtu.be)
Curious about the powerful new features in LightWave 11.5? We've assembled an action-packed video showcasing the many new features in this latest release. From the all new Genoma character rigging system and interactive modeling tools to the enhanced After Effects and Zbrush interchange to soft body Bullet dynamics and new predator and prey flocking capabilities, LightWave 11.5 is a high-performance tool for 3D modeling and animation. Watch it here! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODcc9VqQi1A&feature=youtu.be)
3D World: LightWave 11.5 First Look (http://www.3dworldmag.com/2013/02/01/lightwave-11-5-is-out-now-we-take-a-first-look/)
3D World Magazine's Technical Editor Rob Redman gives his first impressions of the newly released LightWave 11.5 software and zeroes in on his personal favorites: "The new modelling tools should be top of the feature list. Tweak mode is so simple yet enables easy and fluid modelling without the need to jump around menus or remember hotkeys. The modelling goodness doesn't end there either… this update brings Lightwave back up to date and in some areas (such as modelling) pushes it ahead."
