2 February 2002,

It was a great session, with more than 25 members attending the meeting, which was held on 2 February 2002. Although some had to stand, while a privileged few lounged comfortably in our “err”… designer chairs and deck chairs, and some were seated on the floor, the members paid close attention to the demos and discussions on the topics of the day; Radiosity and Baking, and LightWave’s integration with Poser.

The Topics Covered

• What is radiosity
• Why its needed
• Showing a simple scene with radiosity setup, compare the differences
• How to bake, both onto uv and vertex
• Other uses of baking - conversion from vertex coIour to uv for texturing guide
• Character design and animation made easy with Poser
• Integration with LightWave
• Showing the library of Poser
• Modeling in LightWave and animating in Poser

The meeting was chaired by Mr Ahmed Balfaqih, while the demos were presented by Tan Jin Ho. The new logo for MYWAVE was also presented to the members.
