Animated Snow Trails

This tutorial shows a technique I came up with to create displaced trails in the snow. (I won't claim to be the first ever person to invent this, since most good ideas are usually not new ideas!).

Constant Walk Cycle

One problem with creating a walk cycle with a stationary character and no groundplane is that the feet are inconsistent when they come to make contact with the floor of the scene that they later encounter.

Walking Heel to Toe

I am an old-skewl lightwave user. I still use older tried and true methods of doing things but I have taken to the new tools which make many of the old skewl things obsolete ie: the motion mixer and morph mixer.

Rotating a moon around a planet

so, you've finally decided to do that really cool space scene, right? Yeah I know, no one likes to admit it, but everyon HAS to do at least one. It's like when you learn to play the guitar it's "de riguer" to learn how to play Stairway to Heaven.....

Making Objects Follow a Path

During Siggraph, I had a guy walk up to me after I got down from the Main Stage at the Newtek Booth and he wanted to know how he could set up a sort of train animation, or "roller coaster" type of animation in LightWave®.

Animation Basics: Making Objects Follow a Path

During Siggraph, I had a guy walk up to me after I got down from the Main Stage at the Newtek Booth and he wanted to know how he could set up a sort of train animation, or "roller coaster" type of animation in LightWave®. Being the non technical animation and purely still image print geek that I am, I told him that I wasn't sure how to do it. You see, I'm not an animator. I'm a lover. Anyway, I pointed him to someone who I thought might be able to help, but the problem he posed to me nagged at me, so I spent a little time testing out a few things, and guess what...if that guy were to walk up to me today I could give him the basic knowledge he would need to set up his animation. It might not be the only way to do it, but it worked for me so I thought I'd share what I discovered on my own.
