LightWave 3D 9 Advanced Modeling: Project Chariot
Larry Shultz has created hundreds of hours of tutorial over the years for LightWave 3D. Larry has been the go to trainer from Animation, Rigging, to Tips and Tricks and Modeling. This video series though goes into more advanced modeling techniques as he shows you how to create the Chariot from the television series, Lost in Space.
This DVD is from a live class presented to students which makes the training more in depth as students ask questions and Larry explains his methods.
This video starts out by showing a few different ways to model the main body of the Chariot. Box modeling and spline modeling so you can watch both and figure out which style better suites your workflow.
Then Larry gets into creating the details of the ship, showing you how to work quickly and precisely as he adds detail to the Chariot.
Lastly Larry gets into the tracks where he not only models them but he also shows you how to use expressions and dynamics to animate them in LightWave 3D as well.
