Add
some wild motion to your Camera or Objects!
Shock Wave is fully compatible with LightWave 3D V4.0
& 5.0 !
Available now!
In this first example (a 156K .avi), I created a blank scene in LightWave
that had nothing in it. I loaded that scene into Shock Wave and added a
rocking motion to the camera and saved it out. I then went back to LightWave
loaded the Shock Wave scene and saved the camera's motion file out. Next,
I took NEWTEK's Beethoven statue and placed it on a table then loaded the
camera's motion file back in from the Shock Wave scene and applied it to
Beethoven. It seem's like a lot to do to make a statue shake, but the movement
looks great!
In this 2nd example (a 356K .avi), I simply created a scene file with
the Shock Wave logo in the camera's view and saved it out. I then loaded
that file into Shock Wave and added the earthquake like camera shaking
and saved the scene!
In this 3rd example (a 340K .avi), I simply loaded the MECHWALK.LWS
scene that was included on the LightWave CD into LightWave and created
a keyfame at 30 for the camera. That happens to be the keyframe that the
foot of the MechWalker hits the ground. I then saved the scene out and
loaded it into ShockWave. I created a short "bounce" for the
camera at keyframe 30 and saved the file out again. Loading it back into
LightWave, I selected the camera's motion graph and simply copied and pasted
the "bounce" for the camera at every point the MechWalker's foot
hit the ground! Now you have the effect of the camera shaking from the
weight of the Mech walking!
I've zipped up all the files for you(scene, objects, images & .avi)
if you want to look at it closer... MechWalker.zip!
I'll put some more examples online as soon as I put them together, so keep looking!
