What self-respecting artist wants to fool around with programming? Don't be fooled like I was when I heard about this feature when it was first introduced. command? Script? This sounds like programming! No wonder the majority of LightWave artists stay clear of Powergons. Simply put, Powergons allow you to execute a short Layout command script, which is attached to selected polygons in Modeler. Let's get cracking shall we? What are Powergons?
In this article, I'd like to introduce you to Powergons in LightWave 3D and show you just how useful this easy-to-use feature is. Although Powergons can be used to speed up just about every production, they are one of the most overlooked and underutilized features in LightWave. When loaded into LightWave Layout, polygons that have been "charged" with Powergons can release all kinds of functionality and increase productivity. I have the power to charge polygons with mutant-like properties inside of LightWave Modeler using Powergons. OK, so I'm no mage and I may not have Gambit's mutant abilities, but I do have a little magic up my sleeve when it comes to 3D. Like an old mage or druid that casts spells on rocks and turns them into fireflies that light their way, or transforms a useless stick into a magical sword.
I'd love to have some kind of magic ability where I can take an everyday object and turn it into something more powerful. You want to know why I know all of this about a comic book character I think is a dork. Not something cool like ninja stars or throwing spikes. Pretty cool power right? So what does this hack do with this magical ability? He runs around using playing cards as his preferred weapon. This charges the object and when thrown at a target, the object releases the energy explosively on impact.
Well, to be more accurate, Remy has the mutant ability to tap into the potential energy contained within an object and transform it into kinetic energy by simply touching it. Yeah, that's right! The guy that runs around throwing playing cards that explode. He first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #266 in 1990. I'm talking about Gambit from Marvel's X-Men comics. That was Crystal Morales and she was much shorter and could probably still send chills down my back. No, not the kid that used to bully me in third grade.
