Lightwave 3D Spacecraft Modeling-by Adam Gibson This video is great for those of you who wish to get into Sci-Fi or Vehicle modeling. In this training tutorial you will how to create an organic style spaceship that combines both smooth and hard edged Sub-D surfaces in one mesh. There are very few videos which show how to do this. It also shows traditional Polygonal modeling to create certain details and parts of the spaceship. 3D Students will greatly benefit from this fully detailed tutorial which shows all parts of the production process in modeling an advanced-level model of this kind. Software Used: Lightwave 3D 9.3.1 User Level: Beginner to Novice Video Codec: Quicktime Video

This is the first volume in a tool-based learning series on LightWave 9.6's Modeler taught by LightWave Instructor Adam Gibson. Each tool is broken into it's own video for quick and easy reference. The Modeler Series is designed so that you can find the tool you want to learn about instantly by looking at the name of each video clip. You don't have to watch the whole volume in one sitting or be searching through hours of content to find the tool you want to learn about. Project based video training is great but this video is designed so that the beginner and advanced LightWave student can learn the software in small chunks and get a better understanding of what each tool does before attempting a project. No point in teaching someone how to build a house if they've never used a hammer. Here we start at the basic so the student is better prepared for more advanced applications of their LightWave tool set.
