Film Production Tracker

A very common reason why film productions like mine fails is the lack of organization combined with a miscalculation of the huge scope making an animated film actually is. To fight that ending of my film, I’m making sure that I’m running a tight ship from the very beginning and I’ve been very careful to…

All My LScripts are Open Sourced

Today I uploaded the source codes for all versions of all my released LScript plugins for LightWave 3D to Google Code. I’ve been wanting to do that for some time so others can study and learn from my scripts, as well as increasing the reliability to use them in production as they can be tweaked…

Modo 401 Script: Export Selected To OBJ

I just released a small Python script for modo to export the selected layer(s) to an OBJ file. There were a few layer to OBJ scripts available for modo but none that worked like I wanted or properly with modo 401. I needed this functionality badly right now to bring layers out as separate OBJ…

Hair Guides Styling – ASE Spline Importer for LightWave 3D

LightWave 3D has some excellent rendering options for hair. We have the native FiberFX as well as the Sasquatch plugin from Worley Labs. Unfortunately the actual creation and styling of hair guides is still a bit cumbersome in LightWave, which is a shame really as the quality of the renders can be of outstanding quality….
