Lw and o2

Recommended Posts

I use Light Wave for all of my modeling needs. Is there anyway to get native support for .lwo files for O2 or will i need to go via Max or another file type.

Any comments welcome

I use Lightwave for all my modelling, and have to convert to 3ds using other software then import into O2.

A word of caution though, my experiance shows that the conversion process seems to double the Lightwave poly count

Thanks for that.

Doubling the poly count, its probably making all ur pollys double sided.

More likely, your quad polys are being triangulated.

Use the Deep Exploration program (http://www.righthemisphere.com). S/N can be found on astalavista. It look like ACDSee, but for different 3d formats. Perfect exporting tool. While exporting, some polygons may be trippeled (probably non-planar). And one important note: don't convert any *.LWO model in to one other, if it has polygons with more than 4 verticles! It can make serious texture position problem.
