BEI's LightWave 3D Modeler and Layout plug-ins are utilities that help 3D graphics artists create 3D objects and  animations. LightWave 3D is a program used to create special effects for movies, television, games, and web sites. Currently, VertiSketch is a product of Immersion Corporation, and all other plug-ins are developed and sold by Shekinah Studios. Film Grain, Light Diffusion, Color Gradient, Blur, Brush & Pencil, Brightness + Contrast, Transparency Gradient, Midpoint, Mirror, Circle Sphere, AlignTo, FitTo, Loft, Autosurf, and Populate are better known as VertiTilities.

To see some of the plug-ins' capabilities, visit our Gallery.
VertiBevel can bevel multiple polygons as one, create multiple-step bevels in one execution, and much, much more.

VertiTilities Film Grain page

Film Grain adds simulated "film grain" to a rendered image. This is useful for composing computer graphics elements with live film footage or simply making an animation look more like it was shot on film.

Light Diffusion page

Light Diffusion is used to simulate diffusion lenses and add a dream glow to an image. With the proper setting it can be useful in matching computer graphics with actual footage. Light Diffusion recognizes and maintains field rendering.

Vertilities Color Gradient page

Color Gradient is a color shading plug-in for applying a color gradient to an object's surface.

VertiTilities Blur page

Blur is a powerful post processing color blurring tool. The Gaussian, Square, and Tent Blur functions are fast and feature rich, fully supporting field rendering and alpha channels.

VertiTilities Brush 'n' Pencil page

Brush & Pencil is an image filter plug-in that simulates the use of an airbrush and a pencil.

VertiTilities Brightness + Contrast page

Brightness + Contrast is an image filter plug-in that is used to brighten, darken, and change the contrast of a final rendered image.

Vertilities Transparency Gradient page

Transparency Gradient is a shading plug-in for applying a transparency gradient to an object's surface.

VirtiTilities Midpoint page

Midpoint is a modeling plug-in that allows you to create and weld points and split polygons at their geometric center.

VertiTilities Mirror page

Mirror is a modeling plug-in that allows you to mirror an object around any point, line, plane (most common), or sphere.

VertiTilities Circle Sphere page

Circle Sphere takes three or four points and creates a circle or sphere which the points define.

VertiTilities AlignTo page

AlignTo is a modeling plug-in that reorients objects to align them up with other objects.

VertiTilities FitTo page

FitTo is a modeling plug-in that allows you to fit an object to any line, plane, or sphere.

VertiTilities Loft page

Loft is a modeling plug-in which creates polygons between two strings of points. It is different from skinning in that it will create mixed quads and triangles in a loft, minimize "skew" when points in the lofted points are not lined up, and won't close the loft like skinning does. This allows for much more versatile work and for better metaforming by using quads.

VertiTilities AutoSurf page

AutoSurf is a modeling plug-in that, given four or more points, will create a surface skimming over those points.

VertiTilities Populate page

Populate is a modeling plug-in that, given a set of points, will export those points as nulls, objects, or lights. This can be extremely handy for creating such things as forests, a string of lights for a runway, lighting for a city park, or any other repetitive task.
