Render Presets lets you manage a library of different common rendering related settings in LightWave 3D to quickly organize, apply or switch between them.

Render Presets is a plugin written in Python for LightWave 3D, originally created when working on a project that had me switching between a couple of different rendering settings for the same scenes over and over again. The initial iteration only contained the settings I switched between then, but for the public release most of LightWave’s common render settings are included. More settings might be added in the future when time permits.

Usage

Render Presets consists of two plugins, the main plugin is a master class plugin, which manually can be started by adding it from the Master Plugins window in LightWave. Though, for convenience I’ve added a companion plugin which can be added to LightWave’s menus, like in the screenshot to the right, or mapped to a keyboard shortcut. The sole purpose of this companion plugin is to automatically start the Render Presets plugin and open it’s window.

Workflow

Render Presets open in a non-modal window so you can keep it open while you work if you have the need to keep changing settings often.

Each section in the settings is preceded with a “Enable in Preset” checkbox, which lets you to decide what options you want to include when you apply the preset. This allows you to make very specific presets, like a preset that only applies to the Camera, or a preset that only changes the Global Illumination and Render settings and so on.

Main Buttons

The main buttons are pretty self-explanatory, but here’s a quick run through.

  • New: Adds a new empty preset to the list.
  • Save: Saves the presets to disk. The plugin automatically saves the presets when you remove it or quit LightWave, though you can still use this to save, just in case.
  • Rename: Renames the selected preset.
  • Delete: Deletes the selected preset.
  • Up/Down: Moves the selected preset in the list, to organize the order.
  • Duplicate: Duplicates the selected preset to use as a starting point for a new entry.
  • About: The logo from this website. Outstanding feature!
  • Apply: Applies the selected preset to the scene.

There’s a comment field at the bottom of the settings section, where you can type something clever or useful about the preset.

Additional

Just some additional information that can be good to know about the plugin.

  • If the Camera settings is enabled in the preset, and the scene contains more than one camera, a window will popup when you apply the preset that let’s you select which camera to apply the preset to, so you don’t accidentally apply it to the wrong camera.
  • If you have the settings in the Render Tab enabled and apply the preset, you might be fooled that Render Lines and Depth Buffer AA wasn’t applied if you have LightWave’s Render Globals » Render Tab open at the same time.
    Don’t panic! They were applied, LightWave just doesn’t refresh its GUI for these two checkboxes for some reason when they are changed from the outside. Switch to another tab and back again in Render Globals and you’ll see that they have been updated.
  • Sky Squeeze and Ground Squeeze are only applied if you use LightWave versions above 9.6 (9.6.1 OB or HC).
  • The Camera Settings are not designed to work with the Classic Camera.

That’s about it, happy preseting!

Introduction

Genoma introduces a new way to rig your characters that is fast, flexible and intuitive. With its system of preset rigs and rig parts, people new to rigging can avoid the hours and even days it can take to get a usable result and users who are already expert riggers can benefit from the time saved by quickly creating the base rig to expand on and being able to save to the Genoma preset library for future use.

Lightwave 3d Surface Presets

In contrast with traditional autorigging systems, Genoma is fully extensible. If the built-in biped isn’t enough for your multi-armed warrior priest, you can start with the basic biped and add all the extra arms you require. Genoma takes advantage of all of Modeler’s tools to shape and reshape the rig to suit your needs and has none of the limitations associated with Skelegons of old - such as orientation. Associating weight maps has been made easier and the controls for Genoma rigs in Layout make animation easier too.

Genoma is a system that embeds additional information into skelegons to allow them to be converted to more than just a set of FK-controlled bones in Layout. Rig information is stored in the object file and custom rigs can be created, modified and saved in the proper folder as Presets, so they can be recalled any time they are needed.

Genoma is designed to remove the need to deal with the complexity that rigging normally entails while permitting extension and exploration. For the first time, the user doesn’t need to delve into the bones of their creation. The aim with Genoma is to give the user the power to create intuitive controls for their characters and let Genoma worry about how to perform the actions requested of the rig.

In short, Genoma could be the starting point for an expert rigger who wishes to add more control to their rig and a destination for a user keen to animate without having to learn rigging first.

Genoma 1 and Genoma 2

Genoma is in two versions, one doesn’t replace the other. Genoma 1 is great for rapidly applying preset rigs to characters for quick animation, whereas Genoma 2 is more of a rigging development kit. It has considerably more power and can even handle changes to rigs that are already animated, but with great power comes more complexity and so Genoma 2 might be overkill for simple rigging, however once rigged and saved as a preset the Genoma 2 presets need no more expertise to use than Genoma 1 presets. Both will be described in the documentation of course and there will obviously be the possibility for overlap between both rigging systems.
