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.

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. |

Artist Profile
Larry Shultz - has been involved with computer graphics since the mid-1980s. He began using LightWave 3D in its early days for TV commercials and other projects at a CGI company he co-founded during the early ’90s called The Animation Factory in Albuquerque.
Since those days Larry has worked for such companies as American Laser Games, Sony Development, Discovery Channel, Netter Digital, Foundation Imaging, Amalgamated Pixels, and Squarehouse Entertainment, as well as working on a freelance basis for many other companies. Larry is very experienced in almost every aspect of LightWave, working as lead artist, technical director, and in many other positions on a variety of projects.
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. |
