I was actually surprised to see that Vue 4 wouldn't import LW 6 objects. They made no improvement on that at all, since Vue 3.1. The only way I ever get to see LW 6 objects is through 3D Exploration, and they do look better than LW 5.x objects. I can convert the .lwo 6 objects into .lwo 5.6 with 3D Exploration, so they can be used in Vue, but the textures don't load. shrug I really think E-on should be considering the higher-end apps in future releases. Alot of people might say, well, if Vue can't do it, get Lightwave! That's not an option for alot of people though, particularly hobbyists. But, I for one love the LW format for it's tiny file sizes, and would buy LWO objects before any other format (except for 3DS), if I could count on them working right.
