Best Lightwave Lighting Book Around July 14, 2004
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Don't buy this book UNLESS you want to learn from a professional who thoroughly understands real-world lighting and how to apply it in Lightwave 3D. Everything from Principals of Lighting, HDRI, Volumetrics, Plug-ins & Image filters, Rendering times and fakes to speed it up, recreating light sources from a photograph, Setup examples, and a lot more. And all from a guy who does Lightwave 3D lighting for a living.
-nuff said.

I've got 3D Lighting and Rendering as well, and I like this book alot better, simply because he explains things a little better.. he's straight forward and shows you how things are done. The explinations on the different types of light types and properties are great.. I believe this is a must own for any LW user.
Beyond just another Lightwave book April 1, 2004

This book might be entitled 'Lightwave 3D 8 Lighting', but the book extends beyond just the realm of Lightwave 8. Nicholas has created a tome of knowledge in all things CG lighting related. The book is written for the newbie to any current or future lighting technicians. He walks you through lighting from looking at the world around you, to lighting theory, color theory, how to recreate lighting from plates and finally how to create your own worlds greatest lighting rigs. Along with all of this he continously points out time saving tips and cheats. With it comes plenty of images and exercises to bring the words to brillant life. This book is written the way all CG books should be written from theory to pratice for new user to pro. If you are a Lightwave user this is a must own book. If you are not a Lightwave user but still work with anything lighting related this is still a must own book.

Nicholas Boughen has really created something amazing! He walks you thru all theighting tools in LightWave Eight at an easy to read pace with great examples and lessons. What makes this book special is that although it teaches you how to light in LightWave 8, it covers the fundamentals of lighting , how to recreate real world lighting,and more. Nicholas has a talent for explaining complex techniques in an easy to understand way. This is a must own for any LightWave user, or anyone wanting to know more about lighting in general. Not only has my LightWave lighting improved, but my digital photo's have gotten better as well. Thanx for the great book!
