The db&w Tools are a collection of small plugins for LightWave 3D.
They've initially been written out of personal need, due to user suggestions, as a playground or to complement our products.
As of November 1st 2018, all future versions will only be available to our patrons on Patreon. We want to continue developing the plugins for you, with you.
We hope that you will enjoy using them ;)
Toolkits are a collection of plugins to facilitate new features.
As a general note, the nodal editors in LightWave 3D treat both vectors and colours the same way. Both are three floating point values and may be used interchangeably.
These nodes create or operate on boolean values. These are integers that are either 0 (False) or 1 (True) and can, for example, be used to switch between two values depending on various conditions.
As of November 1st 2018, all future versions will only be available to our patrons on Patreon.
Older db&w Tools are available in our download section for Windows and MacOS.
These plugins are copyrighted by db&w GbR. Current builds are only provided to patrons as of November 2018.
These programs are provided *as is* without warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
