Satellite/probe thingy. Experiments in lighting, surfacing and render settings in #Lightwave3d 2026. Simple subject, but everything fell into place and I absolutely love this one. Synergy in action. #Scifi #ScifiArt

Ooh! Another #Lightwave3d find!

There's now a panels node, reminiscent of the IFW2 shaders panels.

More options with things like vents, but I don't see how to have different colours for rivets, etc. maybe some node trickery will help?

Did you hear that? The sound of the penny dropping. Spent years trying to nail "realistic" deep space lighting. Turns out the Spherical light in #Lightwave3d was the answer all along. Sometimes it's that simple. 😊 #Scifi #ScifiArt

Messing around with lighting and render settings in #Lightwave3d 2026. Fun fact: the Nebulon-B by Sean Kennedy was built in Lightwave 5.5 circa 1997. Nearly thirty years old and still going.The Rebellion always did make the most of ageing hardware.

It's more LW 2018, but this discussion is also useful.

That moment when you are 83 minutes into a render and you realise that you've inadvertently used the wrong model for one of the X-Wings - one is supposed to be Blue !

More X-Wing's (no apologies) Model by Alain Rivard rendered in #Lightwave3d and processed in Photoshop. Unusually for me these are Lightwave 2026 - I'm working out the kinks and bad habit's I've picked up in earlier LW versions. #Scifi #ScifiArt #StarWars

If you see this, post your green art 💚

A Gunship Corvette 3d model I made.

(Inspiration for this design is the Corvette class ship from the I-War games box art)

X-Wing Photoshoppery. #Scifi #ScifiArt #Lightwave3D #Pixelpushing

A little #StarWars render to start the week. Models by Alain Rivard. X-Wings and an A-Wing for a change, I even resisted the urge to add a B-Wing 😉

Yeah I know the engine glow looks a little funky, work as they say, continues.

Happy Breakaway Day ! #Space1999 #Lightwave3d #Scifi #ScifiArt

Hey congrats on the 1500 ! And thanks for the #Artshare
I'm Graham a hobbyist pixel pusher working mostly in #Lightwave3d.

Some #Babylon5 renders. The Brakiri Avioki. #Scifi #ScifiArt Fun fact it was the fact that it was used in Babylon 5 that prompted me to start using #Lightwave3d

1/ Not sure where I was heading with this one. Aiming for a ST:TAS look but missing the mark by a long way. I'll have to rewatch the show to get my eye in. C'est la Vie 😊

#StarTrek Boldly going for 60 years ! It's thrilled me, entertained me, occasionally exasperated me and yes, sometimes disappointed me. But at its best it helps me believe in a better future. Here's to another 60. #Scifi #ScifiArt #Lightwave3d models by @gmd3d.bsky.social and Dennis Bailey

A revisit of an old image, giving it an illustrated look. #Lightwave3d render of Sean Kennedy's model. The Betty from Alien Resurrection, yeah the movie kinda disappointed but the designs were great and it had it's moments. #Scifi #ScifiArt

Back into my "blue" period using my favourite background. A quick #Lightwave3d render of an Imperial Shuttle,bashed around in photoshop to try and give it a softer illustrated feel. Does it work ? Maybe. Either way it was fun to do. Music playing and enjoying the weekend. #Scifi #ScifiArt #StarWars
