LightWave Core Feature List Revealed
Today NewTek revealed the feature list of LightWave CORE publicly that will be released in Q1 2010. I’m very happy that I joined the beta program of CORE back in march/april and have had the privilege to play, have input, and see this new application develop and take shape during the course of 2009. Very…
Color Management: Linear Workflow
A linear workflow is when you gamma correct all your colors to be in gamma 1.0, linear space. Gamma correction is one aspect of color management, but it has nothing do with different color spaces. Still it’s an important aspect of a color managed workflow that will work in your favor if you adopt it,…
LightWave 3D Video Tutorial – Using TrueArt’s EasySplit
A few days ago I got a question in relation to the article I posted some months back, tips to speed up the modeling workflow in LightWave, concerning the TrueArt’s plugins that I use. How I actually incorporate them in my workflow. So I thought it would be a nice idea to make a video…
Fifth and Final WIP of Elly
Here’s another update of this CG model, I spent some time with her last night. I modeled a new earpiece for her, fixed the clothing to make them a bit more fitting for her and also did some final tweaks to the skin texture and shading, which I am pretty happy with now. But the…
Get Ready – More LightWave Excitement, NewTek Core
LightWave 9.6 has barely left the building (released just 2 days ago), when NewTek drops the next bomb. The excitement builds up at NewTek Core.

Fourth WIP of the Elly Model
Here’s a quick update to the character I worked with last week. I have been really busy, with work and also updating artstorm.net with some improved design and new features (like the turntable function), so I haven’t had time to pick her up for work again until yesterday, where I got some more things done…

Skin and Hair Updates on Elly + Bonus FiberFX Script
I had some time tonight to make a few small updates to Elly. It’s getting closer to completion. Here’s the latest render test, the hair definitely needs more work… I didn’t have so much time to work with this tonight, but since yesterday I have done a few things anyway. I cleaned up some more…
Resurrected Female Model – Painted and Shaded
Okay, a few hours has passed since my earlier post and it’s time for me to call it a night. Naturally I couldn’t completely finish her in this amount of time, as it’s quite a tedious task creating a detailed CG character. But I came pretty far though. I more or less completed painting the…
Resurrecting Old Projects – Female Model
It’s Sunday afternoon, all the dreadful holidays stealing precious time are coming to an end, so what’s better to start of 2009 than by doing some house cleaning. I’ve let the axe work it’s way through my folder of unfinished projects with no mercy. It was time to kill some darlings where just too much…
