Three new LightWave Video tutorials!

[Chruser]

Well, I decided to put together three fairly quick video tutorials with a fairly low quality and no idle chatter. You will need the DivX (http://www.divx.com) Codec for all of them (or just the latest Windows Media Player). Just click on the bold links to initiate the download!


The Lathe Tool (http://www.zelaron.com/LWLatheTool.zip) (2.55 mb)

This Lathe turorial shows you an essental tool in LightWave for making simple, rounded things like wine glasses, coke bottles, vases or even flying saucers! Check it out!

Difficulty: 2/10 (Beginner)


Quick Skyscrapers (http://www.zelaron.com/LWQuickScraper.zip) (4.68 mb)

This tutorial demonstrates a fairly unique way to model a small (untextured) city scene with room for streets, and various sizes/heights of skyscrapers.

Difficulty: 3/10 (Beginner)


Basic Face Modeling (http://www.zelaron.com/LWQuickFace.zip) (9.92 mb)

This 13 minute tutorial shows you how to model a very simple face using various bevels, the extender tool and multiple layers.

Difficulty: 6/10 (Advanced)


Good luck everyone! If you're having any problems to comprehend the tutorials, simply ask in this thread. Oh, and just a small note, the Skyscraper tutorial might make the polygon selection look a bit odd on the flat ball. Generally, I just selected various, nearby polygons and hit Shift+Z to merge them into a single polygon.

Good job on these!

[Acer]

Yes he did a very great job on the Face, made it look simple but good ;) Good job!!!!

[Randuin]

could be better with sound but good job nevertheless :D

[Acer]

I just listened to music while I watched it. I wasnt really trying to do the tut, I was just watching it and takeing mental notes on how it is done :)

[Randuin]

heh ya gets you thinking in the modeller's way :)

[Acer]

I think if I just copy it, I am just getting good at doing tuts, not the program. Agreed?

[Randuin]

heh anyway... post something you've made after learning from the tutorials :D

[Acer]

I havent worked on anything big to post, except that mold. I dont know what to attempt and make. I dont want to rip off a tut :P

[Randuin]

well at least try :D

[Acer]

Your right, I will... I been sick for the last 4 days, but i go to school tom, so I will get some ideas there :p

[Randuin]

lucky :D but then again i'll be away from school for 2 weeks (actually one week because one of them is spring break) but then again... the vacation means no 3d :(

[Acer]

lol, well I have state tests that i dont have to take, so I dont go to school for 2 days this week 1 day next week then Spring break for me :)

[Randuin]

hehe lucky you :) but then again having a 3d school 3 blocks away from me pwnz j00 :D

[Chruser]

People should start more 3D schools around here. It's not like I'm planning to attend to one, as I consider it to be a waste of time to actually get a teacher in the subject.

Besides, I'd appreciate any more suggestions for tutorials. Just ask me how to make something, and I'll describe it. I could probably make a few video tutorials out of your ideas as well.

[Acer]

Video tuts are always good, easier to understand.

[Randuin]

put sound into them President of Zelaron! :)
