Official LightWave YouTube Channel
NewTek launched an Official LightWave YouTube Channel. Not only is there now a new channel, but there are a bunch of new LW11 feature tutorials by Lino and Matt.
NewTek Magazine Article on Iron Sky.
NewTek is really pushing hard with Iron Sky it seems. This is good. People need to know that you can do that much more with LightWave than you can do with Maya because of costs, time and people. If you want to run your production costs up, and or run it into the ground, then use Maya. If you want to stay in control and keep your show from nose diving – use LightWave 🙂 Suck on that Risto! http://digital.turn-page.com/i/61590

Iron Sky CGI Reel (A quick sample of what goes into over 800 VFX shots)
Just a quick sample of what goes into making a movie with 800+ shots in it. Once the film has been out and about a bit more, I’m going to try and get Samuli onto a webinar with me and we can discuss the shots in the film in person more or less. Would you guys be into that? It would have to be a paid webinar unfortunately I think. But we would hope to make it super affordable if we can arrange it.
