3D ANIMATION STUDIES

Getting Thumbnail Emily Smoke
Study of controlled smoke particles in Lightwave 6.5. In an attempt to learn some of the new Particle FX features of Lightwave 6.5 I put this test together. It consists of a particle emitter in the shape of the name. All particles are emitted, and slightly dispersed before frame 1 of the animation. A effector is passed right to left to repel the particles as if blown by someones breath. The particles are rendered quickly using the sprite mode of the Hypervoxel engine. - Chad C. Yates 2001

Important Note: These animations use the Divx v4.0 video codec. Download it at www.Divx.com. Right clicking on the thumbnail and selecting play will restart the animation if it doesn't play automatically. By clicking on the thumbnail you can view a medium resolution version of the animations.
