@grahamtg.bsky.socialWell looky here, it's the weekend. Early start, chores all done, home alone and unsupervised as my wife is away watching the mighty Plymouth Argyle FC.
There was only ever one way this was going. Time to crank up the music and fire up #Lightwave3d

@grahamtg.bsky.socialConcepts at Mars. A selection of real space concepts masterfully modelled by @nick-stevens.com and rendered in #Lightwave3D above Mars #SpaceArt
@grahamtg.bsky.socialMy yearly attempt at an Event Horizon render. Russell Tawns model in #Lightwave3d. As always banging my head against a spooky atmosphere, so gave up 😄 Here she is at Neptune preparing to tear a hole in the universe. #Scifi #ScifiArt
@grahamtg.bsky.socialVariations on a theme. #Lightwave3d renders of Jason Tinsleys 2004 Helios model. #Scifi #ScifiArt
@grahamtg.bsky.social"This'll be fun !" I think to myself. Fires up #Lightwave3d, pours a stiff drink and loads up Russell Tawns Event Horizon model. Drops in a new lighting setup and nothing. I'd forgotten how much light this damned (or possibly cursed ?) ship drinks. I swear it's coated in vantablack. #Scifi #ScifiArt
@grahamtg.bsky.socialSeptember 2026 adventures, mainly in space. Okay, totally in space!! #Lightwave3d and Photoshop. Guess as it's October I'll have to think of something spooky (eyes up the Event Horizon model). #Scifi #ScifiArt
@nick-stevens.comOK!
I've made a downloadable tutorial / worked example., with all required files
It shows how to applied instanced decorations to a Christmas Tree, & change the surface so that each decoration has a separate colour.

#lightwave3d 2026, (& recent versions?)
@nick-stevens.comDirect from the #Lightwave3d documentation.
A methodical way of getting rid of noise in Lightwave Renders:

@davidcgc.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyI've been revisiting the Infinity Blade trilogy on my iPhone recently, and decided to play with some of the assets from the game. These are all models and textures taken straight from the game. When surfacing them in #LightWave3D, I adjusted the contrast on […]

@cda3dlive.bsky.socialHere is another one, this time #Lightwave3d #AI
@grahamtg.bsky.socialStill down the GiTS rabbit hole, watching the series on Amazon( recommended) and re-reading the book. "Thermoptics" rendered in #Lightwave3d and kludged in Photoshop. Does it work ? Not really but it was seriously fun to do and that's all that really matters these days 😊 #Scifi #ScifiArt
@nick-stevens.comHandy hint!
After VPR, there's buffer options, & after that a single drop down arrow. Here you can turn on things like the Opengl overlay, & put a wireframe on the display, (in this example, a cel shaded final render)
Ideal for seeing where stuff is, best of both worlds.
@grahamtg.bsky.socialTachikomTachikoma from GITS, model by @nick-stevens.com Man, this one nearly beat me. Not the model (which is fun and easy to work with), but the damn wall panel, which simply wouldn't behave. #Lightwave3d #Scifi #ScifiArt
@grahamtg.bsky.socialThe past few days' passion project; converting Nick Stevens' HelioGyro model to #Lightwave3d 2026 PBR surfaces. New lighting techniques, new surfacing workflow, new results. Calling it done for now. Very happy with this one. 😊 #SpaceArt #Scifi #ScifiArt
@grahamtg.bsky.social"Sunseeker" HelioGyro by @nick-stevens.com.
Conversion to #Lightwave3d 2026 underway. Spent some time on the solar sails and gold cladding-which I'm not 100% happy with. Work, as they say, continues 😊
@nick-stevens.comTime to try some #Lightwave3d cel shading I think!
The model is an old one and could use some work...
@grahamtg.bsky.socialStill buzzing from what the previous satellite image taught me about lighting and surfacing. Time to revisit one of my favourite models, the Heliogyro probe, masterfully built and rigged by @nick-stevens.com . These are older renders ; the #Lightwave3d 2026 version is a project for another day.
@grahamtg.bsky.socialSatellite/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
