Hi people!
I just got time to finish another tutorial on how to create wakes and make things float using some free thirdparty tools as well as native tools in LightWave. The tutorial will also deal with some piepline issues and solutions and how to make it as flexible as possible when constant changes are more or less a rule of life when doing 3D. Some things may not make sense right off the bat, but further down the pipe those “strange” things will probably just click.
