Introducing MacroForm " 

LightWave3D Modeler is one of the most powettut polygona[ 
3D modeling programs on the market. And vitith MacroForm 
2.0 Natural Modeling Tools for LfghtWave3D and our innovative 
manual/modeling handbook; it Just got even more powerfull 

LightWave3D offers a variety of modellng methods from a basic 
modeling tool set such as extrusion and lathing to spllne 
patching, Metaform, metaballs. and MetaNURBS, allowing you 
to choose the appropriate modellng tool for a particular job. 
And since there are different 3D modeling professions which 
may require totally difterent object construction methods; there 
will never be one tool which will be appropriate for every 
modeling project. By adding MacroForm to your tool set, you 
have opened up a world of 3D modeling possibilities! 

One of MacroForm's greatest assets is the way it integrates with 
and enhances Modeler. Use Modeler's curves to redefine your 
objects with a technique we call contour modeling. More 
specifically, RailToolz, a subset of the MacroForm package. gives 
you the power to bend, mold, scale, stretch. twist. and warp 
your objects with curves. You can even use RailToolz with 
metaballs, Metaform, and MetaNURBS objects. 

Tools as powerfui as MacroForm. MetaNURBS and Metaform 
would be useless if you dldn't know how to hamess that power. 
You need a good manual. A realbfgood manual. Such a 
manual requires a radical departure from the current standard 
in software manuals. It should be designed to teoch you how to 
"naturally see" modeling with MacroForrn and the LightWave 
3D Modeler

With that goal in mind, combined with our commitment to 
give you our very best, we at One And Only Media have 
developed an innovative teaching method desigoed to help 
you gain a new perspective toward modeling challenges and 
enhance your problem solving abilities. We've documented 
this teaching method and bundled it with the MacroForm 
software manual. This essential 3D modeling instruction 
book and MacroForm manual are collectively calied "3D 
Modeling tlte Ndtural Wty'. 

'3D Modeling the Natural Walr will drastically change how 
you 'see' the modeling process. You wlll benefit from this 
book whether you are a beginner or an advanced artist, 
industrial designer or 3D production house modeler. Once 
you have read and followed all the exercises in this book, 
you'll be less likely to become frustrated from failed attempts 
and have a better chance of getting the results you want out 
of your modeiing sessions. As a result, you will greatly 
reduce your need to search for modeling tutorials. The 
modeling possibilities open up to you and allow you to be 
more creativel 

To that end, this book will introduce you to our teaching 
method by taking you on a journey back to your natural 
way of thinking. 

So, enjoy your joumey...EnjoyMacroFom!
