Mobile Spy Unit

This is my third flying car, but I ran out of time for the NVArt competition....oh well :) It's a spy unit, but it's only purpose is to spy on it's own citizens. The dome at the back is a computer and scanner, that collects data...what people are doing, saying and with who etc. It flies up and down streets, scanning buildings all day and all night. It dumps all the information at depots, for processing....it then moves on to the next street and starts all over. More flying cars to come...

Tin Sousaphone Player

Introducing the latest member of the greatest tin toy marching band in the world...Sousa. I couldn't find any good references of how the various parts of sousaphone were connected to each other, especially from the back. You have pipes/tubing going everywhere, so I just used a little bit of creative license and winged it. There is a kink in the tubing in the last image, that's to avoid it cutting into the helmet....or it's the result of some physical mishap :)

Worn Edges with LW nodes feature request

Modo has a cool Worn Edges material...looks great. I tired to create something similar in Lightwave, but I couldn't get it to work. The last test render is using grit node, but the red surface is on the inside edges...instead of the outer edges. I'm sure it can be done with weight maps, but who wants to spend the time creating them...not me :) So I came up with an idea that might do the trick. Take the Material Mixer to combine foreground and background materials, and add an extra input for edges and one for scale/size. The idea is, you connect an Angle node to Edge input and specify which edges should be affected. For example, if the Angle input value is 90.0°..then any edge that has an angle between 0.0° & 90.0°, will have the background material applied. The Scale input can be a percentage or a distance value, say 6mm either side of the edge etc. And bingo...we have worn edges in Lightwave....I think...hehe. Oh yes....I got another 3 cool metal textures as a r...
