I also think he wants the procedural texture on it where it goes from blue to metallic silver.

If you are looking to do the lettering like at the beginning and below, that is simply Photoshop work - Gradient, edge bevel, and drop shadow applied to text.

For a similar effect in Lightwave you just reflect either a gradient or a photo on your text. In the image below it is just a simply text object created with the Logo button, then the edges were beveled with rounder.
In Layout a rectangle was added in front and facing the text. The Chrome.tga that is in the reflections folder was mapped to rectangle and Luminance was set to 100%, diffuse at 0% Add spec, gloss, and reflection to the object. On the Advanced tab, change the Reflection Options to 'Ray Tracing + Spherical'. Set the Reflection map to chrome.tga with blurring at 25%. MAke sure under render options raytrace shadows and reflections is turned on. Last edited by Cchristensen; 24-04-2011 at 05:01 AM. |

Lightwave, a pioneering software in the world of 3D modeling and animation, has long been appreciated for its versatility and power. Incorporating text into Lightwave projects can add an extra layer of detail and narrative. Whether you're creating a sci-fi title sequence or a product animation, Lightwave's text capabilities offer need help with my homework creative freedom. Remember to experiment with lighting, materials, and camera angles to truly make your text shine in the world of Lightwave.
