LightWave 3D 9 IK Booster with Larry Shultz

LightWave 3D 9.x is an incredibly power tool out of the box. But rigging and animation are still a very arduous and tedious task. IK (Inverse Kinematics) Booster makes these complex tasks much easier, more understandable and cuts your animation and rigging time down considerably.
If you are an animator or rigger and you do not currently use IK Booster you need this video. After seeing this video, some have compared IK Booster's tool set and ability to other 3D tools like Hash Animation Master.
IK Booster is a rigging tool, but it is so much more than that. It allows for copying rig's and applying them to other objects or characters. As well as copying rigs, it also allows you to copy poses or animations from one object to another. These are just a few of the features of IK Booster.
This video is more than 9 hours of training on how to rig, animate, copy, paste, apply motion, and more... all with IK Booster and LightWave 3D 9.x. No 3rd party plug ins are used.
