Baking highpoly details in LightWave Tutorial

This is a tutorial on how to bake highpoly objects in LightWave and get all the details as textures to use in a Unity shader. This process will bake the surface colour, specularity, self-illumination, normal map and heightmap (parallax map when combined).

Making a Forest Tutorial

Part 1: In this tutorial we will create a basic terrain using displacement maps. The displacement map is obtained by using a procedural texture that will be modified later in Photoshop.

Part 1: Creating the Terrain

Part 2: In this tutorial we will be creating 10K textures in Photoshop, that will be later applied to the terrain model we created in Part 1.

Part 2: 10K Textures in Photoshop

Part 3: In this tutorial we will create Bump, Specularity and Diffuse maps for the terrain right inside of Lightwave. We will also create and texture the water plane.

Part 3: Additional Textures

Part 4: In this tutorial we will create a basic sunlight setup using HDRI images. We will also create trees using the DP Verdure plugin.

Part 4: Lighting and Trees

Part 5: In this last tutorial we will be populating our terrain with some trees, using Lightwave’s native instancing tool.

Texturing Models with UV Maps

Beginner Lesson: Quick and Easy technique to texture models (for this tutorial a tank) with an atlas UV map using Photoshop and Lightwave.

This is a intermediate to expert level look boiled down and made easy for a newb.

We will define a pattern in photoshop, quickly create an atlas UV map for the entire object with a single button click, apply a texture to the atlas map and surface bake it in seconds, tweak the surface baked image in photoshop quickly to add panel and edge details that normally take a long time to make.
