GIVE US YOUR BEST SHOT: Show us your BEST LW WORK

[zuzzabuzz]

This isn't much, but I'm proud enough of it to share. Made it in an hour from a photo I took in San Francisco so that I'd have at least something less abstract on my demo reel.

[monovich]

I'll probably have to take down these links because our site probably can't handle the bandwith...

I like 'em because they are simple and clever. Both are all Lightwave.

Part of a short film I did using LW:

It's a story about the guy in my avatar. Please ignore the weirdness of the plot. It's explained elsewhere in the film:D

I'm just a hobbyist, but love the software. Hope it's ok to post hobby-things here, this is the project I'm most happy with so far, a bit of post work in PS. Wanted to recreate that 70's photo-feeling I remember from my childhood:-)

Things I'm most proud of, and embarassed at the same time :blush:

[biliousfrog]

wow, I've still got so much to learn:eek: . It's great to see all these amazing images, the thing that I find most inspiring is that I've realised how much real-world detail I miss out of my work. I'm very concious of adding grime, dust, rust, wear & tear etc but there's a lot of subtle things that I'm missing.

It's also nice to see some non-photo realistic images & some more abstract pieces....well done everyone & thanks for inspiring someone that's getting very bored of 3d again.:thumbsup:

[thx1138]

Amazing stuff I see here so far :thumbsup:

Roberto: Excellent idea. When I see stuff created in LW that's better than my own, it just gives me that extra push to learn more and become better. In the end that's what drives us I guess, not the sometimes endless discussions about what tools we are missing or what might work better.

This is a cool thread. Great work so far. Im not sure if these are my best, but heres 3 of my favorites.

Great renders there Fredrik!
I guess only Award-winners can post High-res like you have done :)

[dickma]

I think this is my best shot yet.
But not much people mention about it and this is the first project that I used up LW's resources and found limitations.

Currently I am in bottleneck and crossroad......
