LightWave 3D Training

Are you a LightWave user that kind of fell off the train after version 11 or 2015? Do PBR, VDB, Lux, ProGeo, nodes and more make you scratch your head? I can help

I can create a training course explicitly suited to your needs. I taught LightWave to architects and general 3D artists at an art school near Bordeaux for about four years and I have written the LightWave documentation since 2007. My experience with LightWave goes all the way back to version 2 on the Amiga, so while I might not know every technique on the spot, I can research and find you a solution. My training courses are based on ten hourly video sessions where I share my screen with you and sometimes you will share your screen with me. Your first session is free (I want to make sure I understand your needs and that you are comfortable with my teaching style), and while my courses are normally ten lessons other options are available.

“I’m really pleased – we organised sessions by Zoom, and I recorded them for later review. The sessions went fast, and I was rapidly learning, and getting good results. I particularly liked discovering the number of “cool tips” I was unaware of, (Shift click in VPR to edit the surface you clicked on!), many of these will save a huge amount of time. My confidence and willingness to try things has grown a LOT.

Trying to jump 13 years of upgrades in one go was ambitious, but I’m very happy.

We still have 2 sessions to go, but I’m already seeing superb improvements in render times – I’m now getting 4k renders of a particularly complex v11.6 scene about 6 times faster. (Your mileage may vary)

If your needs are a good match to mine, I recommend Ben’s training VERY highly.” – Nick Stevens
