Lightwave 3D Beginner's Introduction - Part 1

Watch in HD.

Today, I'll be introducing you all to a new application; Lightwave 3D. In this two-part introduction, I'll take you through the basic functions of Lightwave from the point of view of a 3DS Max user. This is the beginning of my Lightwave tutorial series.

@FootSplit

And...?

[dame2809]

how much is this program?

[troy2062]

@dame2809

If you purchase it under a student discount (which requires that you possess the appropriate proof), it costs €150. The standard retail version costs €800.

[wateverrrrrrrrrrrrrr]

just hack it...

[troy2062]

@wateverrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Or not. Preferably that one.

very nice tutorial but lightwave is not so friendly like maya and max, especially not for beginners. If any one is interested in 3d animation\modeling he\she should use maya or max not lightwave

@troy2062 good come back lol

First of all: Nice Tutorial :)

Looks a little bit like an older Version of Blender...

Lightwave, Maya, 3D Studio Max, Are wonderful at full price, buy one at a discount with student ID if you can.

For hobbyists and a casual game edit. Try Blender or GameStudio. play withit in the editors or tweak it and play with it in an Unreal Tournament 3 or Crysis SDK..

Modeling is fun but it takes planning, patience and more time than most care to admit. No point in spending hundreds of dollars unless you know you'll like modeling.

@troy2062 I agree, NewTek has been very good to independents and amatuers and their boards are a lot friendlier to newbies (unlike some forums that try and make it seem that anything you wish to do takes decades of experience.) I believe in supporting people who support the filmmaking community.
