Essential Lightwave 3D 8 (Book w/ CD-ROM)

Buy
What you have in your hands is, quite simply, a collection of tools and techniques that
many professional LightWave artists use every single day doing what we do in our
various fields. The tools and techniques explored in this book are essential to creating
the caliber of imagery that you see on film and television and in print and video
games.

While this book contains no “secrets,” per se, it does strip away the techno-babble
that plagues so many technical documents and reveals easy-to-follow, industry-proven
techniques. These are techniques that you would eventually pick up on your own, as
did the rest of us. However, the average learning curve for “discovering” them on
your own is estimated at between five and eight years (much less if you find yourself
hired into a studio where you are working on actual productions).

The information in this book is designed to get you up and running with the software
as quickly as possible. The first few chapters will orient you to LightWave’s unique
interface. The next several chapters focus on lighting and surfacing techniques. Subsequent
chapters develop your modeling skills and teach you the basics of animation.
The final chapters show you how to add “pizzazz” to your work with special effects
and dynamics simulations. The files for the tutorials discussed in this book can be found
on the companion CD-ROM. When available, both PC and Mac versions have
been included.

Introduction to Discrete Event Systems
Introduction to Discrete Event Systems
As its title suggests, this book is about a special class of systems which in recent decades have become an integral part of our world. Before getting into the details of this particular class of systems, it is reasonable to start out by simply describing what we mean by a “system”, and by presenting the fundamental concepts associated...

Studying a computer language is a career-long process. Many developers make the mistake of thinking that they have learned enough. They get caught in the corporate cycle of build-and-deploy and don't seek to expand their knowledge. However, we can hardly blame them for that.

For one, the...
