Created by artists for artists, LightWave 2015 is intuitive, award-winning software that offers an end-to-end production pipeline for artists and designers to model, animate, capture, retarget, render, and input and output to 3D, including 3D printing.
3rd Powers plugins offered in the Powerful Creativity Bundle include:
LW Brush: 14 modeling tool plugins for mesh editing such as, translating, rotating, grabbing, sliding, smoothing, pushing, pulling, drawing, cutting, extending, and more.
Cage Deformer: An intuitive animation tool that allows artists to freely edit the mesh deformation of an object by wrapping it with a low-resolution cage-like geometry.
Lattice Deformer: Distort and animate objects in the lattice by grabbing, stretching, rotating and distorting.
Meta Mesh: A new modeling technique to interactively weld and hollow an object in the viewport; Subpatch objects can also be welded and hollowed without harming the model.
Boolean Tool: An interactive version of Boolean that creates a new object from the overlapping portions of the foreground and background objects.
Heat Shrink Plus: A modeling tool that dynamically combines a foreground polygon mesh to a background object, similar to wrapping an object.
