If you look at the Node Editor, it almost looks too complex to be something you??™ve
created. But think about what you??™ve just done, and you realize that it??™s not so hard! By
creating your ???network??? of surfaces, or nodes, one step at a time, you can see that the multilayering
texturing capabilities of the Node Editor are very powerful.
The Next Step
This process of adding nodes and experimenting with different results could go on for
pages and pages. But because there??™s so much more to cover in LightWave v9, we created
a video to show you how to texture the orange, grapes, and bowl of the still-life scene. Take
a look at the StillLife.
