Hey proton - very happy welcome here!
I hope you'll keep us updated on interesting news!
Other than that - the new LW[8] looks like it's going to rock.
edit:
Forgot to say thanks for your ongoing community support.
I really appreciate all the work you put into gathering tutorials, releasing free models, rigs, scenes and countless things more.
Keep your good work up William!

Would be great if we could animate for the Doom³ engine in Lightwave too.

As far as Doomm3 exporters.....the file format for Doom Content is ....drum roll please.....
LWO
that is the native LightWave format......and the Doom format is LWO......it can't get any better then that! |

You can use an LWO as a static object in game however animated entities such as characters are in MD5 format. What we are hoping for is a way to export LWOs with animations as MD5s.

It must be a particulary tough thing to code, given the separate object and scene formats, one in text format and one in binary.

It must be a particulary tough thing to code, given the separate object and scene formats, one in text format and one in binary.

Hey proton - very happy welcome here!
I hope you'll keep us updated on interesting news!
Other than that - the new LW[8] looks like it's going to rock.
edit:
Forgot to say thanks for your ongoing community support.
I really appreciate all the work you put into gathering tutorials, releasing free models, rigs, scenes and countless things more.
Keep your good work up William!
BNA!@Posted: Sat Aug 16, 2003 7:25 am : Proton - a burning question:
Any chance that Lightwave[8] will come with game exporters for Doom³ ?
Would be great if we could animate for the Doom³ engine in Lightwave too.
rich_is_bored@Posted: Sat Aug 16, 2003 7:40 am : I'm teaching myself LScript right now just in case.
BTW, LScript isn't very well documented at all.

If that means your work will be only half as good as the one you did with Doom³ we have to expect the very best from you.
proton@Posted: Sun Aug 17, 2003 2:06 pm : Your all going to love this
As far as Doomm3 exporters.....the file format for Doom Content is ....drum roll please.....
LWO
that is the native LightWave format......and the Doom format is LWO......it can't get any better then that!
Librarian@Posted: Sun Aug 17, 2003 4:00 pm : Great to hear
But does that mean no problems with textures and materials when exporting? No painful tweaking?
rich_is_bored@Posted: Sun Aug 17, 2003 8:05 pm : Well, you're right and wrong at the same time.
You can use an LWO as a static object in game however animated entities such as characters are in MD5 format. What we are hoping for is a way to export LWOs with animations as MD5s.
