- Lightwave 3d demo video. I didn't make this video and I don't know lightwave well enough to do these kinds of effects. This video is a decade old (as of 2016) and STILL looks real.

That desert valley terrain was really good. The aircraft look perfect.
What makes it more amazing is that it was rendered over well over4 years ago. Probably 2006 tech .
I've never used Maya, but lightwave is VERY easy to use for solid non-organic things like planes. You can get results like that using the oldest versions of the software too. Its all about the artist. The most impressive thing in that animation were the aircraft texture images, and the camera work.
Flipping Amazing - decided to get Lightwave based on this! A year on and Im loving it - and making money!!!
Whoever did this did some nice compositing work. Getting the lighting (both direct and ambient) to match the real background footage as it moves around can be tricky.
If you are fimiliar with Meni's work and have been following his career you know that much of this material is well documented as rendered models. William Arrance is another great aircraft artist.
This is Aristomenis Tsirbas work for anyone interested. He's been the standard with which Lightwave work has been judged fora very, very long time. He's also a very nice dude. Everyone has seen his work at least once in a TV show or movie.
I think it is great work. I worked on the Marketing Team with Lockheed-Martin on the JSF program when LM was presenting the XF-35 to the Congressional Committee in 99-00. I retouched images rendered in C4D, since it was easier to versus do a 6-hour mega-sized re-render for a small change. The Boeing design was a bit unorthodox, but in the end, they will be getting a good bit of sub-contract work. As for the comment on heat, 5th Gen Jets use heat dissipation to confuse heat-seeking missiles
oh, and the lighting too... and the backgrounds... but basically like metal666micky said, its about the artists skill, the program is only an enabler... and lightwave is one hell of an enabler.
this should of been viewed 1,000,000 times by now
Nice 3D work in Lightwave, very effective, thanx.
Meni Tsirbas is great obsever.
He puts in the "little" touches that fool your brain into thinking its real.
For example: simulated handholding camera,
wind buffetting,cockpit light flaring,controlled specular highlights mapping.
vortex trails off the wing.
I think this was lW5.6-6 it was quite a break thru visually back then!
-For more Photoreal planes look at Tochy's Lightwave stuff.
Made by Aristomenis Tsirbas back in 2000(if i remember correctly), a VFX artist that worked on ST Voyager, ST Deep Space Nine, Titanic, the MechWarrior 4 intro and other projects. He also directed some viral videos, like the "UFO Over Santa Clarita" animation.
I like the air distortion at 0:48
That is absolutely incredible! hard to believe that wasnt real..
Looks like some footage someone took from an actual plane flying... Thats how good this fucking render looks
that was incredible!
Lightwave is amazing!
Beautiful work man!
nice light set-up, compositing and rendering. well done...
Great animation!
This looks so life like!!! :O Good job!
right on!
I can confirm that the bloom type efx you want it is indeed very possible. Render out a tight spec pass and use that to drive a glow and a glint, screen them together over the footage, if you set the raytrace reflect numbers high enough you'll get the light bouncing effect.
That is amazing!
ppl should make whole movies just with cg! I mean shure, there are thos films like cars etc. that are animated, but I mean movies with this kind of a quality!! it would be really cool!
amazing job, very nice. Lightwave, the best.
great stuff!
This gives me inspiration thanks
That is incredible!!!!!!! Incredible!!
The F-15 model is very very good. Nice work.
that looked sooo real!
AWESOME!!!!
Meni is awesome and is a great organic modeler. His site is worth taking a look at if you're serious about 3D. I saw the guy do this stuff in person. Really nice fellow.
WOW amazing work man
THAT is friggin awsome
very realistic
wow I was thinking the same thing. Scan/model real actors and animate EVERYTHING in 3d.
lightwave was used on "300" the movie. if you pause the movie at 0:50, you can tell someone was videotaping the aircraft. you can see the reflection from the glass. all of this stuff was not animated, it was all videotaped.
Very very well done man. This is easily on par with industry standards.
I had to ask my self for a couple minutes if this was actually real video! great job!
get away,fly away from Lenny Kravitz.Cool tune,cool guy,GREAT video!
INCREDIBLE JOB, I wish I could do that! Your tuley talented!
holy shit it looks so real
wow it looks so real
nice work
@reanthegreat - I think it is great work. I worked on the Marketing Team with Lockheed-Martin on the JSF program when LM was presenting the XF-35 to the Congressional Committee in 99-00.

omg that is amazing
Wonderful stuff. AAA+++
Nice watch!!!
Look, I used to do VFX on Battlestar Galactica and we had just a few weeks to pull of major episodes with dozens if not hundreds of VFX shots, so I will tell you this is totally possible with Lightwave, but if you want me to prove it, I have book with one of these jets on it from 11 years ago and its photoreal, as it you can't tell its CG by looking at it quickly. And it would have been done in LW 5.6 back. So buddy, deal with it, this is Lightwave!
Discret particle and very realistic !!
This was done in LW 5.6 or possibly 6.0 so thats over 10 years old. Lightwave 9.6.1 will be the latest version in a couple of weeks as its now in open beta. Also check out Fprime for Lightwave. Google it.
yes! exactly!! :D
But since people are too lazy to go there and read about, here is the info from his site.
This compilation features entirely computer generated jet shots, this includes all backgrounds.
The original F-15 flyby (created in 1997) was one of the first examples of how CG can effectively replace model photography.
There are also several shots showing Boeing's JSF Stealth bomber prototype, a special project commisioned by Boeing and supervised by Meni.
no, look at the beginning of the video, you can tell that the wire fence and grass are animation because it is closer up. It's all fake but looks really good.
I assume less than 15 seconds at this resolution.
Fixed Geometry, No other Objects to be reflectet. No Skytracer. Just very nice work with the light and surface atributes.
not everyone can do that.
Again, from his site. Credits

@MovieMad007. If you are new to 3d software you will find Lightwave very tough, but frankly compared to other 3d programs it's a dream to use. Everything is relative in this world.
HOLY SHIT! Really real! :D
That's sweet -
whoa...thats crazy
PErfect!
wow ^^
very good
good job ;)
Easy, understand how to light in 3D using real world principles. Something LW is great at! And look! no need to write a shader! EVER!
AtlantiXYL
if you bought the software and had the manual you'd know how to do reflections
the vapour effect is more than likely hypervoxels
and craigandrews ALL the planes are modelled and rendered in Lightwave.
the backgrounds... sea etc looks like film then the models are composited over that but it IS entirely possible to do it ALL in lightwave given the right amount of time and talent
crazyfuturamafreak.... yep you seen a lens reflection.... lightwave can do that too.
omg, this seriously in lightwave?...it looks amazingly real O.o
Ive used both extensively over the years and can confidently say Maya is more powerful :)
Houdini is even more powerful than Maya - one day I will sit down and properly learn it!
Sure, any 3d app available today will create something this realistic. The app is not the reason this looks great however - that can only be attributed to the artist. As mentioned below, this is a few years old though.
Lightwave is probably your best bet.
Damn,you ate the H.A.W.X and H.A.W.X 2 :D
great job man i love how you brought the quality of the render doen to meet the footage. was that aircraft carrier real? one critiqu put some heat distortion on the engines that was the only way i new this was an annimation great job
it looks all real.
PERFECT!
only needs motion blur dude!
Actually thats the shot out of all of these that says CG, but they are all CG. Go to Menis' site and check out the videos there!
the backgrounds are real, and I'm sure that there is some stock footage, but in every bit there is some cg component overlayed. I use the program, not everything needs to be cg to make it cg.
The only thing that gives some of these away is the camera movement. Otherwise I really can't tell.
He would have to be a pilot at an air show to get those shots. I still am not convinced that its real. He would have rendered it in better quality if it took him that long to model all of those different airplanes
inc ombo with XNA you could make games...but there is one rule: Don't get imaptient it takes a long while to pull off even the mostsimplistic game
Woah! Why don't games have such good graphics?
how is it possible to make something this good looking on lightwave? :D
what this isnt real footage? lol this is quality
Thats brilliant! How long was the render time for these!?!? must have taken AGES!
Look at 0:50 --> 0:52.. looks sooo real..
@frasierfreak92 its CGI animated and supervised by Aristomenis Tsirbas,
That's deliberate. The aerial footage is live action, the jets themselves are CG. We do shit like this all the time.
Oh yeah and mr.bosnia, since I proved to you who I am and what I have worked on, didn't you say you would take my credentials as proof that I know what I am talking about with this stuff?
Just to clarify...did you use any other app besides lightwave such as photoshop or any compositing app? If not I'm impressed.
o.O noo fucking way, this can't be a render XP is just perfect *applause* XD
Holy ****
Seriously? are all those jets CG? if so they are amazing!!!
I assume the plates are real. How did you do to match the CG with the live action plates? Or everything is CG?
And I guess you worked a lot on comp as well, those glows and glints are awesome.
And what about the effects, like the condensation on the surface of the jet, man it's all so freaking real!!!
did you do the animation in lightwave too? i am just getting into lightwave and would love to be able to do that. How long have you been using lightwave and how long did it take to create and then animate those planes.
thanks,
alex
what were the rendering times like on those
just downloaded trial version of Lightwave 3D jesus its a tough piece of software to get to grips with! Is it easy or am I just struggling because im a newbie? I mean i have done digital manipulation and flash video, video editing at uni and software design and programming but this is something else!
The window glare from inside cockpit was terrific. Do u have tutorial for that.?
And yes, Lightwave is more accessible than Maya. Maya is more powerful however. The moral; hammers may look different, but they all do the same thing.
Wow nice job. During the first few planes, I swear they were the real thing haha but after the first maybe 5 I could tell they were fake. Great job
oh my god
There is an easy way to settle this, if the things on the video does not exist then there is a good chance its CGI id est one of the plains is the variant of the Boeing X-32 with separate wing and tailplanes which only exits as a production mock up and therefor never flown, build because of criticism of the original delta wing design, which did fly but lost to the F-35 so you see it is CGI. That and I'm a compositor and can spot, even good, CGI a mile off.
from 0:50 to 0:52 you can see the window glare from inside the airplane
i wish i could do this :D is that program hard to learn? :(
I'm trying terragen 2 but can't understand much :(
