LW KeyPrinter - (Right click
to "Save Target As")
A MS Word document for keeping track of keyboard shortcuts (yes,
you have to type them in yourself). Just looking at it enumerates
all the KBS available in Lightwave (I was surprised at the number).
It is layed out pretty much in the order the keys appear on
a keyboard. This one is has my KBS for Layout but can be adapted
for Modeler. Please let me know if I missed any.

Suggestion: Open LW and stretch the "configure keys"
panel so it is full screen height. Open Word and position
it so you can see the "configue keys" panel, that way
you can enter quite a few keys before going back to LW to scroll
more KBS into view. |
In response to this thread at SpinQuad.
A couple of examples demonstrating the use of Relativity's MoveVec function to create a constant velocity camera. Notes are included.
Note that if you choose to use this method, you will see that Layout's responsiveness will slowdown.
Once you are happy with the motion, you can bake it using the "Freeze Relativity Motion" function. You can freeze the motion of any object, even an object which does not have Relativity applied - in this case the camera. After Freezing (baking) the motion, you can turn off the instance of Relativity being used, but keep it in case you want to refine it. This will reduce the overhead of MoveVec when scrolling thru your scene.
The Freeze Motion panel has a setting for keyframe frequency, so you don't need to create a KF for every frame and then you can edit the motion path after freezing. Note that it will use the frame range set in the motion panel when freezing the motion.
This would be a good way to rough in your motion at a constant velocity, but then tweak later as necessary. |
