LightWave 3D 8 Spline Modeling with Larry Shultz

This is one video we are truly excited about! When you think of Spline Modeling in LightWave 3D you think Larry Shultz, he is the master...or Splinegod.

This video is more than three hours of incredible instruction from the master himself. You will learn what spline's are and how they fit into Lightwave's workflow, using spline's as guides for extrusions to create organics tubes or pipes, use of spline's to create skelgon (bone) chains is shown, rail clone, rail bevel, spline guides, spline's to motions and motions to spline's and much much more.

Larry Shultz is well known as the Splinegod, now through this video you too can learn his secrets. From the foundation of spline's to advanced uses for them, this video covers it. you will be modeling in spline's like the splinegod in no time.

The emphasis on demonstrating the use of these tools is not just on how they work but also how to use them in a workflow. How to make them all work together is a big part of the theme of this DVD. There is nothing available that covers spline's in this detail.
