![]() ![]() The final fence contains lots of curves - extruded and bevelled a little (Fig03).įor the filled elements, like the house, trees and plants, I used NURBS Circles I subdivided them and moved the vertices in the same plane. Modelling the fence was easy I started with a simple NURBS Curve, subdivided it, moved the vertices in "crazy places", subdivided again, moved the new vertices, and so on. I began with the fence which, like a "Chef d'Orchestre", determines the style of the image and its organisation around the centre of attraction. NURBS curves which are only slightly extruded appear like something between 2D and 3D (Fig02). From the modelling, right through the texturing, and up to the title, I used a minimalist style combining 2D and 3D shapes, with lights and shadows to recreate some of the mystery of a children's story. It is an attempt at recapturing the unique mood of these masterpieces. This somewhat atypical 3D scene, filled with 2D elements, is strongly inspired by Tim Burton's "The Night Before Christmas" and "Corpse Bride". The techniques that I'll explain are not specific to these applications though, and can be adapted to equivalent programs such as Maya and Photoshop. For Night of the Cat I used Blender (a powerful Open Source 3D programme), Gimp (a 2D Open Source program), and Inkscape for vector graphics (also Open Source). Blender, Vue Infinite, Poser, Inkscape and Gimp are my main tools. My name is Cristian Mihaescu, and I am an electronic music composer who also loves to create digital art - mostly 3D scenes - as a hobby. While it is a lot less expensive then similar products from Autodesk, LightWave is still quite expensive and probably not ideal for those who are simply looking to dip their toes into 3D graphics.Many thanks to the 3DTotal team, for this opportunity it is a pleasure for me to share some of the techniques that I used to create my "Night of the Cat" image. LightWave is a great 3D animation solution for smaller companies that don't have large budgets for programs like Maya. It can even reproduce the lighting that is on the set. With Virtual Studio Tools a movie crew can walk a set with cameras and other input devices and LightWave will create a virtual replica of the set. There are many features that LightWave provides that make it easy to add CGI effects during the movie making process. LightWave also includes effective procedural, nodal, and keyframe animation tools to help bring your 3D creations to life. You can surface your 3D elements using a quick layer-based system, a more involved but powerful nodal system, or both. LightWave is able to render both animated and static 3D images utilizing a good sized pallet of tools for creating and manipulating images. ![]() It has been used in many different industries including TV, film, architecture, advertising, and video game development. NewTek LightWave 3D is a 3D computer graphics application that is used to create 3D graphics and animations. ![]()
