LightWave3D plugins

We’re really excited about our current project! It’s called  LightWave Unified Physics Framework or UP for short. Unified Physics means that you can simulate fluids, rigid and soft bodies, cloth and ropes, all interacting with each other using the same integrated tool within LightWave Layout. See why we’re excited! The current solver is NVIDIA’s Flex. [...]

Advanced Placement is an artist friendly tool for physics based placement of items and their instances in your LightWave scene. It includes it's own physics engine, instance generator, undo system, a large collection of  painting tools and a special capture/playback system for recording and playing back physics simulations that you can interact with as [...]

LWRemodeler is an integrated Layout tool for interactively retopologizing your LightWave objects using the Instant Meshes technology from IGL. LWRemodeler has 2 modes for generating a new mesh. The Extract Mode lets you quickly extract a new mesh in 1 step. This is great when you don't need to edit the polygon flow and [...]

PlaceIt is an artist friendly tool for physics base placement of items in your LightWave scene. It includes it's own physics engine, undo system and a special capture/playback system for recording and playing back physics simulations that you can interact with as you make them. PlaceIt is Advanced Placement without the instancing system. [...]

Crash Catcher is a Layout master plugin that idles in the background waiting to handle a Layout crash. In the event of a crash, Crash catcher will post a message and attempt to save your scene and it's objects with new names to the current content directory. It will append "_SavedByCrashCatcher" to the names [...]

Sherpa is a Modeler plugin that interactively converts LightWave splines into Sasquatch guides. Sasquatch guides are chains of 2 point polys that include an extra 1 point "root" poly at one end that is used by Sasquatch to determine growth direction. Useage: First create and shape some splines. One way to do this is [...]
