LumeTools
While LumeTools is an ever-evolving product that will vary
slightly for each 3D package, the core Collection consists
of five individual sets: LumeLandscape, LumeWater, LumeLight,
LumeMatter, and LumeWorkbench. Originally developed in conjunction
with the artists and animators of Cyan, Inc. for use in "Riven:
The Sequel to Myst", the LumeTools Collection provides highly
realistic natural effects for real world 3D productions. What
does this mean? Simply put, the tools are fast, easy to use, and produce stunning results.

studios Maestro
Maestro is an automation and animation control system for
Lightwave. It was inspired by the need to automate the rigging
process, as well as providing an easier way to access and
animate our characters for a feature-length animated film
we are currently producing. What developed out of the creation
of these two tools is a centralized controller that allows
you to access and manipulate many aspects of Lightwave, including
animation of objects, characters, lights, cameras, etc., as
well as speeding up workflow by centralizing tools that are
normally scattered across many different windows or menus.
Maestro also gives you the ability to create macros that will
execute multiple commands with a single mouse click.

MeshPaint
MeshPaint is taking LightWave's modeler to a different level.
The creation of complex polygonal structures, particle-based
surfaces such as fibers, fur, and feathers has become sheer
fun! With the output being fully polygonal, one can utilize
all native and custom modeling tools; apply all kinds of shading
techniques, and lighting setups. Moreover, all sorts of custom
shaders, and baking solutions can trace such geometry. The
MeshPaint's unmatched render-quality can be seen, however
the inner versatility, and the number of various applications
can barely be imagined.
ResPower
Super/UV Pro
ResPower Super/UV, a plug-in for Lightwave Modeler designed
specifically to give you the set of tools you need to create

Realities Pyro
Pyro is a fire and smoke simulation and volumetric rendering
plug-in for LightWave 7.5. It differs from typical particle
simulation systems in that it is meant specifically to aid
in the creation of advanced smoke and fire effects. Furthermore,
after simulating, render- ing is handled with custom volumetric
classes designed to look like the most realistic smoke and
fire.

How many times have you wanted to create a
realistic tree, but haven't had the time nor the patience
to model one? The intricate spider's-web of branches, the
several-thousand leaves - not to mention animating it all!
Now there's an easier way: TreeDruid. Simply add a Null object,
load up TreeDruid, change a few parameters, add a few envelopes,
and you have fully animated trees and bushes!

RealFlow is able to simulate different kind
of fluids calculating the interaction between particles. Gases,
liquids and viscous materials follow the main guidelines of
the true fluid's equations. Atmospheric conditions (pressure
and temperature) can be set up in the system. Heat transfer
is simulated at different levels: particle-particle, object-particle
and particle-atmosphere.
