All texture mapping methods are supported for multiple layers of texture maps including diffuse surface color, luminous surface color, diffuse shading coefficient, specular shading coefficient and bump mapping. Okino's NuGraf and PolyTrans programs have complete support for multiple layers of texture maps per material so this capability is put to good use when importing LightWave files. Reading of surfaces (materials) with multiple layers of textures enabled.

Reading of LightWave 'Bone deformation weight maps' and/or the exact simulation of Newtek's 'bone weight falloff' algorithm.

LightWave is a bit unusual in its method of defining bones, as the bones are defined as child attributes of each mesh object whereas in most other animation packages the skeleton of bones are separate from the mesh and the vertices of the mesh are 'linked' remotely to each external bone.

Reading of LightWave 6 or newer bones and mesh skinning for character animation deformations.

The degree of this keyframe data converted to other export file formats is dependent upon the export converter in question.

Reading of animation and envelope keyframe animation data.

Reading of all LightWave supported polygon geometry,.

lws scene file then enable 'Keyframe Resampling'.

If you want to accurately import interpolated keyframe animation data from a LightWave 6.

lws scene file, then you need to properly set up the 'Path to Content Directory' option.

If the import converter cannot find any of the.

If the import converter reports that it cannot find a particular LightWave object file (.lwo) or a bitmap texture (.iff) then add a new path to the directory where these files reside via the 'Preferences/Configure File Search Paths' menu option of the main program.

The Okino LightWave importer is always compliant and supported

The LightWave software from scratch as the newly minted MODO software from Luxology.

Unchanged since the year 2001 when its original development team (of Alan Hastings, Stuart Ferguson and Brad Peebler) left Newtek to re-write LightWave is one of the few PC-based 3D animation program whose file format has remained mostly Or no bearing on the version of LightWave itself. It is an IFF chunk-based file format and hence the version of the file format has little Please note: there is no need for Okino to release new versions of this importerДЇor each successive new version of the LightWave software from Newtek (such as V7, V8, V9, V10, V11, etc). This importer takes advantage of many of the major newДЇeatures of the LightWave 6+ file format. Released in the 2000 by Newtek and introduced a completely revamped. V4-5.6 importer, and a LightWave 6.x/9.x or newer importer. The converter is actually composed of two distinct sub-converters: a LightWave Little or no degradation in scene content (including hierarchy, object and cameraДЄnimation, bones + skinning, automatic bitmap conversion and so forth). These converters,ДЇor example, allow data to be moved from LightWave, into 3ds Max, and back again with Our dedicated game development, animation and content development users. Long been two of the most important converters in PolyTrans and NuGraf for many of This LightWave importer, and its corresponding exporter have Read in LightWave files and and render them right away with only minor changes necessary to the imported scene. It is a very complex converter, and one of the most developed in PolyTrans, that will allow you to This geometry import converter reads in LightWave binary object files (.lw)ДЄnd ASCII scene files (.scn) for all versions of LightWave from 1994 onward.
