In the first part of this two day tutorial tutorial, Joshua Jorgensen will take us through the process of creating a motion graphics style effect to animate a pie chart scene. Using a combination of keyframing and expressions in Lightwave 3D, we'll build a flexible semi-automated system to create an impressive effect out of what would normally be a boring statistic!
