LightWave 3D 9.x Advanced Particles & Hypervoxels Volume I
 This title is the continuation to Tim Dunn's best selling series on LightWave 3D 9.x Particles and Hypervoxels. This two volume set in the advanced series is completely project based and covers three distinctively different tutorials per volume. Volume I (this video) covers Trailer Effects (Meteors for example) Explosions in detail and Weather Effects like Wind Rain and Dust.
This title assumes basic knowledge of LightWave's particle engine and basic setup and understanding of hypervoxels. If you are unsure about this, we recommend Tim's introductory series to catch up on these topics.
This video is more than 5 hours long and is part one of a two part project based advanced series.
About Volume II -
Covers Fluids, FXLinker and Crowd - Behavior Effects, Expressions, LScripting and LightWave 3D's SDK. This training video like no other, truly will teach you to not just replicate Tim's work but go out and create your own amazing Particle effects. This video can be found here.

Benefits of this Video
Even the best animators and visual effects artist on the planet have a hard time with physics, particles and collisions. Well not any more! Tim Dunn has spent years in school learning physics and mathematics as they apply to 3D and specifically LightWave 3D. Tim has a great way of conveying this information without you having to have a Doctorate in Physics.
This DVD is the first in the Advanced Series from Tim. The advanced series covers more complex items and is completely project based.
