For some time now, my most popular links have been to my tutorial on using the RLA image format rendered from Newtek’s Lightwave 3D in a compositing program (in this case Adobe After Effects), as well as it’s real world example follow up.

For some reason, the results from the combination of the latest versions of Lightwave and After Effects seems to be broken. There’s a simple workaround (use the RPF Image Filter instead of the RLA Image Filter).

Currently, I’m partially through a complete overhaul of the site (including a decent gallery), but shortly thereafter, I’ll be including an all new tutorial on compositing options.
