Matt, please post Jpeg instead of Png. Png takes far to much time to load specially for medium internet connexion…
Nice still btw.

Did you surface that in 9.5.1?

It reminds me of that opening shot of "Cars".

Love it!

Sorry Pixym, on a fast broadband here, never noticed it!

Yes, all 9.5.1, car paint shader / conductor nodes.

Oooooh - shiny! :D
Very, very nice. There's something quite modern, while also being a bit retro in there. Can't put my finger on it - but I like it a lot anyhoo.

Very nice work. :thumbsup:

Foolish question here, but what the heck is 9.5.1? I don't see it on my download page, just 9.5. But I know it must be real because the Car Paint node is all the rage, yet I can't find it on Flay.

Is 9.5.1 called 9.5 on the download page? Or is it a non-free upgrade?

Very nice carpaint and logo there Matt. You been given the job of redesigning the manuals yet? Im waiting with bated breath.

Oh, and the 9.5.1 is purely beta at the mo... if you have 9.5 then join the beta testers and you can help make lightwave become what we want it to.

Nope, NT went all quiet after the FFX docs, so I don't think they are interested.

Looks great Matt!

I like the yellow/red coloring and the reflections look great! Nice little piece there! :D

Carpaint looks real nice!

Here's the scene file (9.5.1) for those that want to check it out.

Had to reduce the size of the 'FINAL_outside.hdr' probe for upload though, so if you have that one (was free off the internet somewhere) then replace it with the one in the Zip file with yours.

Cheers

Thanks for sharing Matt, I really like the style. What's the font?

The font was 'Orator Std Slanted', but I outlined it in Adobe Illustrator and flattened the tops of the letters 'W' and 'v' and the bottom of the 'a'.

Now, that's a HUGE shame... they desperately need some design pumped into their docs... they need to be pretty! Like the fiberFX ones! You did a grand job on those ones.

Well, you never know, Obama was elected President, so anything is possible!
