Lightwave Feature Films

By Hi Chao-xing Mui, Lightwave Artist.

Ok, here goes, pretty much off the top of my head. This is a list of movies that used Lightwave 3D software to achieve amazing VFX results. Some of the titles might surprise you (they did me). Especially titles that don’t seem like VFX films at all.

Well, that’s just part of the power of Lightwave 3D. It can do awesome SiFi, fantastical robots, future cityscapes, spaceships in one film like Star Wars and then more organic realistic just fantasy material like Lord of the Rings and yet produce totally, photo realistic images blended seamlessly with actually 35mmm film footage like Black Hawk Down

Note: this is not a complete list of Lightwave feature films. Just the ones I’ve personally seen. I bolded the titles that I’m fond of and would recommend.

Note: The battle of Red Cliff is actually two fantastic Chinese features. You can see it with subtitles and get it on Netflix. Just do it and let me know what you thought.

Call me with your LightWave questions or how I can build a virtual set in Lightwave for our Tricaster 450 Extreme
