Seaquest DSV, Babylon 5, X Files, Sliders, Titanic, Blade... The list goes on. Learn why LightWave 3D is the choice of Hollywood professionals. Designed by creative people for creative people, LightWave 3D is easy to use, yet packed with professional features. This beginner level, but fast paced, class will show you the ropes in this exciting 3D package. All participants in this workshop or the "Advanced LightWave 3D Techniques" workshop receive a copy of "Inside LightWave 3D" by Dan Ablan.

Prerequisites: While this is a beginner level workshop, it will be of far more value to you if you at least attempt some of the the tutorials that came with your purchase of LightWave prior to coming to the workshop. The pace of this class requires prior familiarity with the LightWave 5.5/5.6 interface. True beginners who have never seen LightWave are strongly discouraged from attending this workshop unless they have significant experience using another 3D animation software package.

Topics include:

• Creating realistic models
• Basic surfacing
• Key framing
