Lightwave PlugIns
Blevins Enterprises
VertiBevel can bevel multiple polygons as one, create multiple-step bevels
in one execution, and much, much more.
Film Grain adds simulated "film grain" to a rendered image.
This is useful for composing computer graphics elements with live film
footage or simply making an animation look more like it was shot on film.
Light Diffusion is used to simulate diffusion lenses and add a dream
glow to an image. With the proper setting it can be useful in matching
computer graphics with actual footage. Light Diffusion recognizes and
maintains field rendering.
Color Gradient is a color shading plug-in for applying a color gradient
to an object's surface.
Blur is a powerful post processing color blurring tool. The Gaussian,
Square, and Tent Blur functions are fast and feature rich, fully supporting
field rendering and alpha channels.
Brush & Pencil is an image filter plug-in that simulates the use
of an airbrush and a pencil.
Brightness + Contrast is an image filter plug-in that is used to brighten,
darken, and change the contrast of a final rendered image.
Transparency Gradient is a shading plug-in for applying a transparency
gradient to an object's surface.
Midpoint is a modeling plug-in that allows you to create and weld points
and split polygons at their geometric center.
Mirror is a modeling plug-in that allows you to mirror an object around
any point, line, plane (most common), or sphere.
Circle Sphere takes three or four points and creates a circle or sphere
which the points define.
AlignTo is a modeling plug-in that reorients objects to align them up
with other objects.
FitTo is a modeling plug-in that allows you to fit an object to any line,
plane, or sphere.
Loft is a modeling plug-in which creates polygons between two strings
of points. It is different from skinning in that it will create mixed
quads and triangles in a loft, minimize "skew" when points in
the lofted points are not lined up, and won't close the loft like skinning
does. This allows for much more versatile work and for better metaforming
by using quads.
AutoSurf is a modeling plug-in that, given four or more points, will
create a surface skimming over those points.
Populate is a modeling plug-in that, given a set of points, will export
those points as nulls, objects, or lights. This can be extremely handy
for creating such things as forests, a string of lights for a runway,
lighting for a city park, or any other repetitive task.
VertiLectric allows animators to create highly realistic lightning and
organic effects.
VertiLectricTSX allows animators who use trueSpace to create highly realistic
lightning and organic effects.
VertiSketch allows modelers to trace physical object into a 3D graphics
object

create a scene file to animate the shards and animate a LightWave object
around a curved path.
Swarm - Create animated swarms of objects using animated attractors and
repellors.
KeyPro 2.0 - Windows Explorer like scene and motion editing for one or
multiple LightWave scenes.
Expressions - Control the motion of an object based any other object's
actions.

PowerPlugins package - Focal Distance, Image Loaders and Savers, Attach
to Polygon, BlowUp, Shatter, Browse Scene, Clone Object and Surface, Connect
the Dots, Copy Scene, Flip Around Polygon, Load Scene, Mirror Using Polygon,
Pie Chart Maker, Save with Pivot Point, Smooth Velocity, Swarm and Tracer.

AlignPoints - Align points on one or two axes simultaneously
FlareMaster - is a plugin for Modeler to create scenes with flares based
on the points position in the active layers.
P to RGB -convert Pantone to RGB valuesAlthough LW6.5 has a symmetry
option, sometimes it is necesary to cut the right side of an object. UnMirror
will do that, and when you are done editing, use DoMirror to mirror the
object with just one key.
UnMirror/DoMirror - Although LW6.5 has a symmetry option, sometimes it
is necesary to cut the right side of an object. UnMirror will do that,
and when you are done editing, use DoMirror to mirror the object with
just one key. To assign LScripts to a key in modeler, just add the script
as you normal do with other plugins, and then assign it to any key using
the key editor (F1).
MiniScreamer - MiniS is a small program to send direct commands to screamernet
nodes.
FrameCalc This is a frame to SMPTE calculator, pressing the right mouse
button you can access some options

Creating humanoids, aliens, monsters, bugs, and other things that go bump
in the night is an easy experience with Creature Creator. Make one-of-a-kind
characters for cartoons, fantasy and sci-fi in minutes - by using any
of the plugin's library of over 500 pre-defined body parts, which can
be tweeked or combined in endless ways for genuine originality. Of course
you can also add your own modifications and models to the library to make
the possibilities with this plugin endless. If you're serious about your
animations, you'll want to add Creature Creator to your toolbox.
