Okidoki,
all texture maps have been created,
so lets use them in Lightwave! You can
close down Photoshop now if you want
to, and then load up Lightwave Modeler.
Create a box with the following settings.

Triple
the polygons. Create a surface for this
object called "Paper" and turn smoothing
on, then save this object as "Paper.lwo".
That's
it for modeler, at least for now, so
load up Layout and load the Paper object
in. Place and Rotate the Camera to the
following.

Enter
the Image Editor and load in all the
images we made in Photoshop, it's time
for some texturing. We are going to
start with the Displacement Map, so
click the Objects button at the bottom
of Layout and then bring up the Properties
Panel. Click the Deformations Tab, then
the Texture button for Displacement
Map, use the following settings.

Now
let's make this look more like paper,
so open up the Surface Editor. Set the
colour of the paper surface to R: 217
G: 174 B: 136. Next we will use the
transparency map to soften the edges
and give them a fibre like look, so
use the following settings in the Transparency
Texture Channel.
Click
OK when you're done with the transparency
texture and then click the T for the
Color channel. Use the following texture
settings for the first texture.

Once
again click automatic sizing.
When
you're done with that one, click "Add
Layer" to add another texture layer,
and then use the following settings.

Click
OK when you're done with the Color Channel,
then render a test render, it should
look something like picture 29.
