Lightwave 3D Sci-Fi
Modeling-Volume #2-by Adam Gibson In this training video
watch Lightwave Instructor Adam Gibson build a Sci-Fi Style City
similar to many that have been created for big screen sci-fi action
films. The premise of
this video is to show Lightwave's quick and powerful modeling tools combined
with some compositing tricks to create the illusion of a massive city using
very little geometry. Less geometry means quicker render times. Techniques
on how to set up a Sky-Dome and how to set-up optical illusions using
Perspective are discussed in detail.
