prem Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Here are some scenes that I created in LightWave 3d many moons ago for my (rather dated) on-line fossil gallery. All modeling, texturing, rendering, etc. done by yours truly. First, we have a clump of Calamites sp. from the Pennsylvanian Pottsville Formation: The plants were generated algorithmically using a recursive 3d L-system generator and then imported into LightWave, where they were textured, lit and rendered (with a bit of volumetric light dispersion to give a swampy fog effect). Next, we have a typical set of fauna from the Ordovician Cincinnatian Series (Flexicalymene meeki, a straight-shelled nautiloid, a bryozoan, crinoid, rugose coral, and brachiopod). One of the Flexis has gone into its defensive enrolled posture from being attacked while the other tries to make a fast exit. Enjoy! ---Prem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xonenine Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) fantastic - I still use LightWave 7.5 for fun, and these would be fun meshes to add to a fossil game, or 3D environment, I use unrealed to make a little of both from time to time... edit: been a while I had to check, I'm on Lightwave 9.6 now ...

jhw Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Hey Prem. I remember your renderings from way back! Good stuff! Got a link to your website? I for one wouldn't mind revisiting them. Thanks, JW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) I just checked that out of curiosity and only understood the adverbs and adjectives. The nouns and verbs are in a language completely foreign to me, but I think I got an idea about what you have to deal with as an animator artist nowadays. I'm boggled and wouldn't know where to start, but by the looks of the great scenery that prem was able to create it must be a fun thing if you want to get into it.
