Many of you may be
familiar with our Visual FX packages for
Lightwave, as well as Fly FX by
Dimension Technologies or Hollywood FX.
All these programs take the work out of
creating transitions in Lightwave. But
what if you wanted to create your own?
That's what this article is about. We
will give you a stripped down scene file
designed to show you how to roll your
own. |

Image mapping is intended
as a time-saver because it renders

is far more realistic. Note that if you
have a newer version of LightWave, you
can mix reflection images with your
raytraced reflections. This can be used
for more stylish reflection effects, as
long as you've got a nice reflection
image. |

Description:

To make realistic
refractive objects, you have to
understand how Lightwave handles
