Object Trail Tutorial

Using Spline Control and Instances to reveal a static path of objects – could be handy for those travel documentaries! No audio.

All this can be done natively in LW but I’ve used a couple of very useful plugins to speed up the process.

They can be downloaded here and here . (Commercial)

Model, Texture, and Animate a Fountain tutorial

Learn how to model, texture , and animate a fountain using a combination of solid geometry and a particle system.

(note: invert the droplet weight map… I accidentally weighted the droplet area 0% and the outside and inside waves as 100%.)

The opening video of the final render is on a three second loop so the final result looks way better than the preview.

Adjust the speed of the waves two ways:
1.) alter the “wave speed” of the ripple texture
2.) alter the Y channel’s distance per second of the turbulence and/or fractal noise (or the crumple “bump map”).

Lightwave render passes + Blender Compositing Tutorial

In this tutorial, I explain how to create render passes in Lightwave using a plugin called “Passport”, then in the second half I detail how we can use Blender’s node editor to do compositing work on those renders.
