I have both of these packages and I have not try it yet. But my guess is that you didn't installed the Lightwave plugin "VueSynch.p" I am trying the same thing right now. I am notice that there is option to export maps and such, also atomsphere. I am not sure how long it will take, so I am going to let it do it and get back with you. I was interested in how this stuff works.. why not try it out. :)
