  1. Two quickie abstract renders in #Lightwave3d, with instanced cubes.

  2. Experimenting with #Lightwave3d volumetrics, to try and make a proper atmosphere instead of my usual cheats!

  3. Lunar View, after Lucien Rudaux.

    The original lighting made the central peak pitch black, as it was completely backlit, so I moved the Sun to one side. The Earth is unrealistically large.

    Terrain in #Gaea, everything else in #Lightwave3d

  4. Space! Working in the new #Lightwave3D 2026 spending a very pleasant evening tweaking the surfaces on this cool astronaut model by Peter_D on Sketchfab. Next up I need to workout rigging so I can change the default T-pose and also tweak the render settings #Scifi #ScifiArt

  6. See that photoshop rabbit hole ? That's the one I fell into. Lightwave3d render photoshopped into a stock photo. More a technical exercise - distort and perspective transformation really bends my head. Still not sure it's right. #Scifi #ScifiArt #Lightwave3d "Cinder" a novel not coming anytime 😉

    Accurate animation, 4k, showing the Dwarf Planet Pluto, and the orbit's of its satellites.

    All by me, #Lightwave3d

  9. Definitely a "boom today !!" #Babylon5 It was the dawn of the third age of mankind and the start of my #Lightwave3D journey, Model by Adam Burch. #Scifi #ScifiArt

  11. Sometimes you just need to blow stuff up. #Lightwave3d and Photoshoppery. Using Don Gaisers SF-51 Mustang model. #Scifi #ScifiArt

    Three orbits over the lunar terminator.
    4k video, with music by Cousin Silas.

  14. Mucking about, and trying something new outside my comfort zone!
    Figure is a static Daz bot, I separated the arms and head so they could move.

    This shows a proposed nuclear version of Soyuz, with 6 boosters to lift the heavier nuclear core above the atmosphere.

    With 6 boosters you get a Korolev star instead of a Korolev cross!

    All by me, in #Lightwave3d

  16. Here's a 4k animation I made for the Enzmann Archive a couple of years ago.

    It shows the Enzmann mini-ship, (Ramscoop in the format of a nuclear dumb-bell, flying past the shipyard, (about 6 km tall), where the Echolance starships are being built.

  17. Space 1999! Eagle Transporters on patrol. Following some recent black and white explorations I couldn't resist dropping the iconic Eagle into the lunar landscape. Depicted here in the brief window before the inevitable crash landing. #Lightwave3d #Scifi #ScifiArt #Space1999

    Model by "Paul aka TheMightSpud" from the long gone and much lamented Foundation3D website where I first cut my Lightwave3d teeth.

  20. Calling time on this one. Changed direction several times and I think that's the problem;,no clear story going in. All good though, learned a few things, fired up Octane for #Lightwave3d and had a proper play with VDBs. 😊 #Scifi #ScifiArt"

  22. Sorting out astronaut figures, exported from Daz. This is a G9 Deep Space Explorer.

    Converted for use in #Lightwave3d

  23. Gas processing rigs punching through the gas giants upper layers. Turned out okay. The clouds are nor as defined as I'd like but close enough. #Lightwave3d and photoshop. #Scifi #ScifiArt

  25. Space Battleship Yamato. Model by Don Gaiser . #Lightwave3d render with a splash of photoshoppery. Have to admit, whilst I'm aware of the series I'm not deep into the lore - so any mistakes are definitely mine not Don's.

  32. So it seems she may fly again, albeit in animated form.And I think I'm on board with that, kinda worked with the recent Babylon5 animated reboot. #Lightwave3d and Photoshop #Firefly #Serenity

  33. B-Wings (again, I make no apologies) I've loved these ships ever since they made their appearence in ROTJ. #Lightwave3d render of Howie Day's model

  34. Lightwave3d render of Alex Axelssons model. Design obviously heavily influenced by The Prometheus #Lightwave3d #ScifiArt

  35. "The Betty" from the ulitmately forgettable Alien Resurrection. Still a cool design though. Model by Sean Kennedy. #Lightwave3d #Scifi #ScifiArt

  36. Babylon 5 Hyperion Class heavy cruiser. Some #Lightwave3d renders of Rhys Salcombes model.

  37. Dick Van Dyke wasn’t just a TV legend — he was an #Amiga & Video Toaster power-user 🎬💾
    A look back at how he used #LightWave 3D for real TV & film production 👇
