Texturing with nodes is very different than the traditional layered based methods LightWave 3D users are used to. While extremely powerful, nodes can also be very difficult to understand, even for experienced artists.

James Willmott has completed his first video training in his series on nodes. The focus of this video is not to teach you how James used nodes but rather to show you how nodes work so you can design and create your own node based textures and surfaces.

The video goes much deeper buy showing you how to create more advanced node based textures using noise, gradients, as well as images and procedural textures.

This video is much more than just a introduction video, it will have you using nodes effectively in a few hours. If you have been avoiding nodes, add this powerful tool to your workflow, pick up our latest video, LightWave 3D Introduction to Node Based Texturing.
