Multiple Bump Paths in One texture – Lightwave 9.6 Tutorial

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

Currently I am working on a scene with an old house, part of which is covered with plaster, the other is exposed brickwork, therefore two bump types are required in one texture. I had a number of ideas of how to do this in the Node Editor of Lightwave 9.6, however they where all pretty much useless. After a lot of frustration and searching the internet with no success I had a final try and got it to work.

Below is the method which I used, it probably isnt the most elegant method, but it works.

Firstly I will start with a cube.

Kingston Flyer – Day 6

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Finished the drivetrain, added another boiler to the top of the tank, more pipes and more details to the tank.

Still to do the wheels today, perhaps tweak the drivetrain slightly, the final boiler, whistle assembly and some valve areas toward the back.

Kingston Flyer – End of Day 4

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

Worked on the runners for the rest of the day, part of this involved first tyring to learn how they work and then model them accordingly

Still needs lots more work on the shape and adding all the small details, but for now i’m happy to have the main shapes present and in the right places.

The wheels are only roughouts at present, better more detailed ones will be done later.
