Worley Laboratories has released an update to the William H. Taft Collection, a set of plugins for NewTek LightWave. The new 2.0 version includes major enhancements to four of the six plugins in the collection. It's available now as a free update for Mac OS X and Windows.
The Taft Collection includes six individual tools for LightWave, including Camera Match, which is designed to match photographs with LightWave's camera view; Sticky Front Projection, which allows for image-based rendering for moving around photographic scenes in LightWave; Whirley Points, which offers real-time soft dynamics; Tracer, a tool for launching projectiles; HeatWave, which generates hot water vapor distortion effects; and Hoser, which is designed for adding flexibility to hoses, ropes and the like without the use of bones or IK.
The new version includes new moveable windows for all of the tools, as well as non-modal windows for Hoser, WhirleyPoints, Tracer and StickyFP. These four also gain several functional enhancements.
