Product Description
You hold in your hands the best-selling guide to NewTek's LightWave 3D animation software, completely updated for LightWave v9 by award-winning animator and trainer Dan Ablan.

Inside LightWave v9's accompanying DVD features hours of high- quality video training tutorials that will help you take the projects in the book to new heights. No other book has taught more LightWave 3D users than Inside LightWave.

  • Insights into the new LightWave v9 workflow
  • Powerful new surfacing with the Node Editor
  • Character modeling
  • Bones and rigging for character animation
  • Particle animation
  • Hard body and soft body dynamics
  • Rendering concepts with the new Global Render options
