Objects in the scene with the Shadow Catcher material applied only receive shadows and reflections from other items in the scene. The Shadow Catcher material node allows objects to be composited easily into background plates. The sampling of anti-aliasing, shaders and lights has been updated to an advanced unified sampling system in LightWave 11, which features higher-quality sampling at reduced render times. Craft maneuvers (planes, alien ships, etc.).Easily calculate crowd avoidance of neighbors, target alignments and cohesive attractions for natural motion.Ĭlassic examples of flocking motion include: Get control over the crowd with Flocking. Weight maps can also be applied to the source object to control the density of a fracture, making it an extremely flexible tool for breaking 3D objects in LightWave.
You also have the ability to create an Endomorph of the resulting fracture and animate a fracturing object with or without dynamics. This LightWave Modeler tool was designed to complement Bullet Dynamics in LightWave by allowing you to pre-fracture objects that are to be destroyed.įracture offers a variety of methods and settings to fine-tune the look of pieces as they are being fractured. It can also be used to naturally place items in a random pattern, a process that can be time-consuming and difficult to do by hand. In LightWave 11, the Bullet Dynamics engine is located directly in Layout, but can be used with the Fracture tool in Modeler to create compelling physics-based animation like collapsing buildings or massive explosions. It features rigid-body 3D dynamics originally created by Erwin Coumans. Bullet Dynamicsīullet is a fast production-proven Open Source physics engine that is used to create many high-profile, effects driven films and real-time game engines. Instead, you can randomly scale, position, rotate and surface cloned objects differently from the source object, which can be a tremendous timesaver on many types of 3D projects. While instances can be thought of as clones of the original source objects, they don’t need to be identical. With the ability to support massive "virtual" polygons, you can populate a scene with incredible detail while retaining reasonable rendering times.
Instancing can be used to mass-duplicate objects in a scene with very little system overhead. Speed improvements to IK performance and GLSL shading means smoother working in Layout Significant speed boost with some scenes loading up to 7X faster Overhauled utility for setting up renders for printĮasy object alignment for modeling off-axis New Stroke volume rendering mode, new instancing support and speed improvements The new Compositing Buffer Export panel makes exporting render buffers easier GoZ support for Layout and Modeler, with zero-config installation Playstation™ Move support, SDK and much more Industry standard, SDK level access Python scripting Updated Car Paint shader to support iridescent effects, giving you more realistic results New sampling system which features higher-quality sampling at often reduced render timesīlend believable shadows and reflections into background plates easy and fast Pre-shatter objects for use with Bullet using a variety of algorithms.Ĭreate natural swarming, crowd avoidance behaviors with ease.
