Inside LightWave v9

Dan Ablan

New Riders Press, 2006

The DVD is critical
My biggest complaint: you can't always tell what's "selected" from the images in the book. It's difficult to tell the difference between selected and unselected edges in the wireframe views. Also, some of the pages aren't fully inked, and the images on those pages ...
