LightWave 3D Displacements, Edomorphs & Weightmaps

This video is a compilation of the three videos by Larry shultz on Displacements, Endomorphs and Weightmaps. This video set contains the most comprehensive videos in the industry on displacements, endomorphs and weightmaps and this DVD contains all three.

This DVD begins with the two videos, volume I & II on displacements and Endomorphs covering more than 5 hours total. Displacements can be an extremely powerful tool in LightWave when you know how they can be used. They can allow you to create some very creative models with easy and make them react with other objects without animating them.

The video continues to cover weightmaps with the complete "Get into Weightmaps" video. This section of the video will give you a much broader knowledge of Weightmaps and how to implement then in easy simplistic ways that you probably have not thought of. If you have enjoyed Larry's "outside the box" thinking on LightWave 3D, you will love this video as well.

This video contains the complete video series, shown below:

Displacements and Endomorphs
The purpose of the CD is to show every place displacements can be used in Lightwave.  Most people typically think of using displacements in layout, however displacement techniques can be used in modeler to sculpt and create there as well. Many also do not know that Endomorphs in layout can be driven using texture maps.
Displacements and Endomorphs Vol II
This video is the second installment from industry professional, Larry Shultz. Volume II picks up where the first video leaves off showing you how to harness the power of displacements in LightWave 3D. Whether your using dynamics, or bones, displacements and endomorphs can be a very effective addition to your tool kit.
Get into Weightmaps
This 2 hour + video will give you a much broader knowledge of Weightmaps and Endomorphs and how to implement then in easy simplistic ways that you probably have not thought of. This video is in the same series as Larry's Deformations and Endomorphs video. If you have enjoyed Larry's "outside the box" thinking on LightWave 3D, you will love this video as well.

He brings all that experience to these videos. Larry is also heavily involved with LightWave training. He has taught seminars all over the United States and several schools including Newtek Inc., Albuquerque Technical Vocational Institute, Video Symphony, Foundation Institute, and 3D Exchange. Larry is known the world over for his training and vast knowledge of LightWave 3D.
