LightWave 3D Group Reveals LightWave 11.5

The LightWave 3D Group, a section of NewTek, has voiced LightWave 11.5, a new book of its Emmy Award-winning 3D modeling, animation and digest software. A full 3D pipeline, LightWave 11.5 includes many new features to streamline productivity, inclusive a new Genoma disposition animation and paraphernalia network for Modeler, predator and chase flocking, Instancing, soft-body Bullet Dynamics, rotate encouragement for Adobe After Effects and Pixologic’s GoZ Fiber Mesh, leading workflow enhancements, and more.

LightWave 11.5’s new features and enhancements include:

Genoma

A new modular instant-rigging network that may be used to rapidly supply a elementary biped or organism for animation in Modeler without the need for specialized paraphernalia tools. It offers modular supply presets that include of fundamental tools such as spines, wings, arms, legs, hands and feet. Complete rigs for biped and quadrupeds can simply be customized using Genoma.

Modeling Tools

New functionality and architectural advancements in Modeler enable for faster interactivity, opening and apparatus development. LightWave 11.5 introduces many new tools similar to UV Unwrap, Edit Edges, Place Mesh, Slice, Thicken and Heat Shrink that highlight the system’s power and lay the grounds for future third-party displaying apparatus development.

Soft-Body Bullet Dynamics

Bullet right away includes soft-body dynamics for belongings such as cloth, rubber, preserve or other deforming properties. Bullet meshes are moreover right away reactive to bone deformations and breeze forces can moreover be updated for rippling effects.

Flocking

A specialized molecule network that allows things to pierce in really natural ways, Flocking offers new chase and predator behaviors that enable flocks to chase other flocks or have flocking agents look for out and chase the closest prey. Neutral flocks do not chase or chase but still start other agents for impact avoidance. Other new features include Plane, Pursuit and Arrive directors and the add-on of node controls.

Interchange Tools

A new GoAE symbol allows you to choose elements in a stage and see them in Adobe After Effects - inclusive animation, lights and camera setting. Changes may be done using Camera Tracker in After Effects before returning to Lightwave. GoZ technology for Pixologic’s ZBrush allows you to send models to and from LightWave with automatic node flows for textures and normal maps. ZBrush styling tools can moreover be alien to LightWave and trustworthy to objects.

Instancing

Now includes Per-Object manage of scale, stretch, offset, rotate and nodal controls, along with new Copy and Paste functions and Path Mode optimizations for larger adaptableness and workflow.

ViewPort Preview Renderer (VPR)

VPR transforms how artists work in LightWave with swift interactive onscreen rendering. LightWave 11.5 right away supports depth-of-field and suit fuzz belongings and stereoscopic digest in VPR.

LightWave 11.5 is approaching to liner in Q4 2012.
