"Mr. U-Do" by Steve Benton


This image was created for the National Marker Company. Mr. U-Do was a character created by NMC and animated at Interactive Multimedia Training Systems, Inc.

Here are Steve's comments about the image. "I tried to create a realistic feel to complement the cartoon style of the character. By utilizing Planks2D (on the floor), and Gordon Miller's Eroded shaders (on the wall, and molding), I was able to do this."

"Still Life with Floor" by Dave Huffman


The Parquet2D shader is used in our first contributed image!! Dave is a freelance graphic artist in New York City. He provides design and visualization services for architects. There are some other images on Dave's website

This particular image was rendered on a PII 400 w/ 128Meg RAM at video resolution with Enhanced Low Anti-aliasing. Render time was 37:47 w/ 1 area light and three shadowless spots for faked radiosity.

"Portal" by Roger Crouse


Roger is currently employed by a DoD agency and is fortunate enough to get paid for using Lightwave on a daily basis. This image is from the beginning of an animation that will be used for the opening of a video project he is working on. Other shaders used in this picture (besides Planks2D of course :-) include Interference and Rust. There are some other images on Roger's website.



Here is another image from Roger. This image uses the Brick2D shader on a castle built from Dave Jerrard's tutorial in the "Lightwave 3D Applied" book.

"Swirl" by James (ASCII Skull) Lawless


This is the first thing James did with the Shades plugin, and our first animation for the gallery page. It uses the Cyclone3D plugin.

"Lightwave 6 Logo" by Gordon Miller

Gordon has created some great new shaders for the Shades project.Here is his version of the new Lightwave 6 logo that uses the "Superdents" shader.




Here is another image from Gordon. This image uses the Wood2_2D shader and the Stars_And_Moons shader.
