Dedications
To my mother, girlfriend, and stepfather, Steve. Without them, I wouldn’t be where I
am today. —Gerald
Abraham
To all those out there who wish those-in-the-know would just cut the posturing, and
tell them what they need to know to do what they want to do.
—Timothy
“Amadhi” Albee
To my wife, Ashley, who sat next to me for countless hours while I modeled, wrote,
read, studied, and everything else I did to prep this book without rolling her eyes
once. This one is for you, hun. I love you!!! “Pump, pump!!” Thank you for always
supporting me on everything I do and thank you for always telling me my work
looks better than I think it does! To my mom — I know you won’t know what you’re
reading, but try to act like you do when you show people this book, okay? ;-). Thank
you for always expecting more of me than I expect of myself. To the authors of this
book and the LightWave community — you folks make this all worthwhile. Thank
you so much for your support, loyalty, and kindness. It truly is appreciated!
—Wes
“kurv” Beckwith
To my wife, Miracle, who supports me, and my son, Alex, who looks up to me. I
love you both. —Jack
“Deuce” Bennett
To the LightWave community. These artists help each other out of deep holes every
day. I hope it’s always that way. —Nicholas
Boughen
I dedicate my contributions in this book to Doreen Hellemn. She just passed away
this year and was a really cool lady who happened to be my grandmother. She was
one of those people who you thought of as a friend rather than just a relative. Born in
England, she married a U.S. Army medic and came to the United States just after
WWII. Later in life she became a world-renowned cake decorator, and just last year
made the cake for my wedding. In the last days of her life, she was helping me and
my wife pick out baby names. We will all miss her. —David
Ebner
To Kelly for always standing by me, and to my family for all of their support.
—Todd
Grimes
To seekers of LightWave lore. —Jennifer
Hachigian
I’d like to dedicate my part of this book to my better half, Riikka Maria, due to all
the long nights when I’ve just sat in front of the computer, neglecting the really
important things. And for my family, friends, and our cats, Otto, Lassi, and Topi
(RIP) too. —Erkki
Halkka
To my parents, Jack and Phyllis, for supporting my obsession with making pictures
on a computer, even when I gave up on it myself from time to time. —Kurtis
Harris
This is for the annoyed animator. There you sat, bathed in the eerie glow of the com-
puter monitor, scratching your head when things didn’t work quite right the first
time. In the hope that you could transmit your ideas directly into the computer, you’d
bang your head against the monitor. If that failed, it was probably due to too much
hair in the way, so you’d start yanking that out of the way in frustration. Finally, in a

last-ditch effort to convey your ideas to that infernal machine, you’d berate it with
obscenities, sharing your true feelings with it, and those around you, until finally
breaking down into tears. Annoyed animator, this book’s for you! —David
Jerrard
To all the LightWavers in the world and my wife, Ann-Kristin. —Arne
Kaupang
To my wife and family — my constant source of inspiration. —Brad
Krause
To Sharon. Thank you for your understanding, your support, and your love.
—Mike
Pauza
To my wife, Marija, for living with my LightWave obsession for all these years and
never once threatening to flush the dongle down the toilet. —Kevin
Phillips
To Janay for all her love and support. —Policarpo
To my friends and family for their undying support and to the numerous industry
colleagues with whom I’ve had the pleasure of sharing, learning, working, and wit-
nessing our magical industry unfold before the eyes of the world. —Robert
Powers
To my father, Enrico. Special thanks to my family, Marta Salustri and family, Wes
Beckwith and Timothy Albee, all the guys at NewTek and particularly Ben Vost,
Roberto Musso, and Bob Hood. —Emanuele
Salvucci
To my wife, Camilla, and my two children, Ariel and Daniel. Special thanks to Wes,
Steve, and the rest of the gang of authors. I learned a lot myself. This is also for
those people who have spent countless hours banging their heads on the wall trying
to figure things out the night before a deadline. —Larry
Shultz
To Lauren — LightWave took so much of our life, the least I can do is tell you and
everyone reading this how much I love and appreciate you for dealing with it for as
long as you did. Long may you run… To my kids, Blackjack, Olivia, Shane, and Ste-
ven — I love you all. Thanks for your help on the tours. To my brother Ken — I’ve
learned a lot from you, and I love you. To Brad Carvey — Thanks for everything
you’ve done for me in the time I’ve known you. To everyone who’s taken my semi-
nars — Thanks for coming out and making it worthwhile. —Lee
Stranahan
To my loving wife, Heidi, who lets me spend time playing with LightWave.
—Peter
Thomas
To my wife, Addie, and my dog, Jack, whose patience is unmatched. I would be lost
without them. I would also like to give a special thanks to Wes Beckwith for his
countless late nights and weekends to bring this book from a simple conversation to
a masterpiece that we will all value for years. —William
“Proton” Vaughan
To my bosses, Bob Headley and Paul Woodford. From the very beginning, you have
supported my development as an artist and encouraged me to grow in my skills.
More importantly, though, you enabled that to happen by creating a phenomenal
work environment. I would be remiss if I did not say thanks for all that you’ve done
for me. If everyone had bosses like you, no one would ever complain about going to
work. You have my sincere appreciation and my deepest respect. —Steve
Warner
To my family, Skyia and Michael, who did my chores for me while I spent all my
time on this book, to all those who use and love LightWave, and to the people who
developed the program in the first place. Thank you for your hard work and dedica-
tion; you make it possible for me to do what I do. —Robin
Wood
