Résumé
The LightWave 7.5 Primer is a complete, structured guide to the ins and outs of LightWave. It is intended to help those just getting started in the field of 3D animation learn the dozens of details necessary to become comfortable and proficient with a 3D software program. While LightWave is fairly straightforward and intuitive in its construction, computer animation by itself can be a very involved process. The first part of this book covers many of the basics of 3D animation and explains how LightWave addresses them. It teaches which tools are used to create 3D animation, explains how they work, and when to use them. The remainder of the book focuses on developing 3D skills and provides a wide array of tutorials for hands-on practice.
The LightWave 7.5 Primer will give you the basic grounding in LightWave necessary to begin working effectively in 3D. You will learn how to construct basic objects and make them move. You will learn how to give them textures and render them as animations. And you will even be able to composite your LightWave renders into live footage. LightWave is a diverse tool used throughout the industry for print graphics, game development, architecture, visualization, broadcast film, and visual FX. If you are just starting in the 3D field or are new to LightWave, you'll find all the guidance you need to hone your skills and master this powerful tool.
