House Build Animation Scene Files for LightWave 3D

7 ratings

What is it?

All object and scene files for the House Build animation for LightWave 3D versions 2019 and above.

You’ll get one Master House Build scene and a further 11 scenes of each element broken down for easy reference.

Why?

Multiple displacement techniques for a variety of situations, including native nodal displacements, DP Kit’s Part Move and Shifter, Instance Generator uses with time offsets plus some of the classics - weight maps, bones, morphs and some good old keyframing!

How?

This was built using LW2020.0.2 on a Mac. The native nodal displacements were introduced in LW2019 so will work on both Windows and Mac LW2019+, although there maybe some texture discrepancies. Everything is native with the exception of DP Kit (free and/or donate):

Additional

This is not a tutorial, it’s all the low poly objects and scene files that went into creating the animation. To keep things simple, no image mapping is used just basic PBR Materials. Also, an HDRI was used to light the final render but is not included here due to distribution and licensing (but this isn’t about the render!).

Any issues please get in touch. I hope you find the techniques useful so you can expand and “build” upon them :D
