Three new LightWave Video tutorials!
 

Well, I decided to put together three fairly quick video tutorials with a fairly low quality and no idle chatter. You will need the DivX Codec for all of them (or just the latest Windows Media Player). Just click on the bold links to initiate the download!

• The Lathe Tool (2.55 mb)
  
  This Lathe turorial shows you an essental tool in LightWave for making simple, rounded things like wine glasses, coke bottles, vases or even flying saucers! Check it out!
  
  Difficulty: 2/10 (Beginner)
  
  
• Quick Skyscrapers (4.68 mb)
  
  This tutorial demonstrates a fairly unique way to model a small (untextured) city scene with room for streets, and various sizes/heights of skyscrapers.
  
  Difficulty: 3/10 (Beginner)
  
  
• Basic Face Modeling (9.92 mb)
  
  This 13 minute tutorial shows you how to model a very simple face using various bevels, the extender tool and multiple layers.
  
  Difficulty: 6/10 (Advanced)

Good luck everyone! If you're having any problems to comprehend the tutorials, simply ask in this thread. Oh, and just a small note, the Skyscraper tutorial might make the polygon selection look a bit odd on the flat ball. Generally, I just selected various, nearby polygons and hit Shift+Z to merge them into a single polygon.

Good job on these!

Yes he did a very great job on the Face, made it look simple but good ;) Good job!!!!

could be better with sound but good job nevertheless :D

I just listened to music while I watched it. I wasnt really trying to do the tut, I was just watching it and takeing mental notes on how it is done :)

heh ya gets you thinking in the modeller's way :)

I think if I just copy it, I am just getting good at doing tuts, not the program. Agreed?

heh anyway... post something you've made after learning from the tutorials :D

I havent worked on anything big to post, except that mold. I dont know what to attempt and make. I dont want to rip off a tut :P

well at least try :D

Your right, I will... I been sick for the last 4 days, but i go to school tom, so I will get some ideas there :p

lucky :D but then again i'll be away from school for 2 weeks (actually one week because one of them is spring break) but then again... the vacation means no 3d :(

lol, well I have state tests that i dont have to take, so I dont go to school for 2 days this week 1 day next week then Spring break for me :)

hehe lucky you :) but then again having a 3d school 3 blocks away from me pwnz j00 :D

People should start more 3D schools around here. It's not like I'm planning to attend to one, as I consider it to be a waste of time to actually get a teacher in the subject.

Besides, I'd appreciate any more suggestions for tutorials. Just ask me how to make something, and I'll describe it. I could probably make a few video tutorials out of your ideas as well.

Video tuts are always good, easier to understand.

put sound into them President of Zelaron! :)

nice..i gues...i don't know how to lw....i wish i could get the program...i don't wanna buy it...either...damn...oh well...i hope ill have enough money in a couple of months

There are other ways to getting it, find a demo version.
