Fun stuff!
However, as you might have guessed, there is much more you can do with these dynamic
settings, and there??™s a video available showing you how to animate cloth, which is another
type of soft body dynamic. Visit www.3dgarage.com and you can find the free video
download.
The Next Step
This chapter introduced you to hard- and soft-body dynamics. Even though the tutorials
were simple, their methods and results are the same whether you??™re building New York
City in 3D or just a ball and box.
I??™ve said it before, but it can??™t be emphasized enough: Practice! Experiment! Change a
value; see the results.Work with one value at a time, and as always, consult your LightWave
3D manual for any specific technical questions. Now, turn the page and learn about
LightWave v9??™s rendering processes and its new camera tools.

Cameras and
Rendering
For LightWave v9,NewTek has introduced an entirely new set of cameras as well as a new
render panel. For that reason, this chapter encompasses both areas.Without a render, you
won??™t see your final 3D model or animation, and without a camera, you won??™t see the render.
