Welkom!

Ok, heb een idee voor een nieuwe trainingvideo voor Lightwave.

Mijn inzending voor de Speed Modeling Challenge #142 – Doors and related paraphernalia.

After half a year of downtime, the Benelux Lightwave Resource website is back in the air.
Better, easier and versatile with already hundreds of free Lightwave scenefiles, objects, environment and textures. And we are not done yet filling the database!

Read more for details.

Hier is een updated versie van mijn vorige post over dit project. Tevens de complete Engelse beschrijving erbij dusver :

This is an updated version of the video "Video overlays package".
Original text below. Added :
- Added the rotating news logo
- Added the jelly cube transition
- Added the Helicopter transition

Currently working on some overlays for video editing. Most package come with build in overlays to use as titles or transitions. Useally they only work in that one package.
So I am creating a set of overlays that can be used in ANY video-editing package.

Here is a pre-preview sample (really early stages ;))

It's a blue transparant title or subtitle box, animation is completely rendered for realism, so when it comes in screen you can actually see it has a different angle from the camera.
Then there is the dirty stone title box and finally a smokey transition.
Fun stuff is that you can use all the video-editing tools to change their colors, position and what not..

Convert Lightwave Scene files with European numbering system to US system

If you are using a PC that has a numbering system like : 12.345,00 then Lightwave 10.0 or 10.1 will not load scenesfiles you receive from other countries correctly.

To solve this you need to set your windows Regional settings to a numbering system like : 12,345.00. The decimal point needs to change from a , (comma) to a . (period).

This allows you to load up scenefiles from others, but now you cannot load the scenes you created earlier with LW 10.0 or 10.1. To convert those scenefiles, I have setup a website that converts these scenefiles. It will convert all 12.345,00 to 12,345.00.

You can find the website here (free and no user registration required).

Ben momenteel begonnen aan het maken van een set video-overlays. De meeste video-editing programmas komen al standaard met b.v. transitions en titel-blokken. Maar deze werken eigenlijk alleen in een specifiek programma. Daarom het idee om een set van overlays te maken die in ELK video-editing programma functioneren.
Hieronder een eerste, hele simpele, indruk :

Finally the new training video is done and released.
I am very proud Liberty3D has picked it up and is selling it through www.liberty3d.com. Go check it out!
In the mean time, here's a quick preview of the training video.

Here's the boxshot..

Here's a first and animating the whole thing.
