Can Poser 5 output animations to Lightwave? I hope to be able to find out tomorrow, but if ya already know, let me in on the info. Thanks! ben

yeah LW is my main 3D tool and I'm interested as well. i'm going to be going through the manual until my P5 arrives. i have pro pack for P4 and it makes for a long production pipeline. doable but a lot of work. Also LW makes a fair amount of demands on your hardware add to that that P4 Pro Pack has to be running and you have a few system seizures from time to time. you save often and curse often.

just checked the manual. it says it will import v5 lightwave geometry files. that's it! LW isn't mentioned once anywhere else except in the forward where Steve et. al. tell war stories about their vision and about Pro Pack. Maybe there will be another revision of Pro Pack. Do check out nuutti. It's cheap and allows you to allign 3D cameras, motion paths and lighting between Poser, 3D Max, Lightwave, Maxon 4D, Bryce and I think a few others.

So what you are really saying is that you wish Poser was a plug in for Lightwave rather than a stand alone program! ; ) That's what I've wanted all along! LOL

By the way, have any of you use Poser morphs as endomorphs yet? You save out a morph from Poser and then apply it to the base figure geometry in Lightwave as an endomorph. Very cool. You even get a slider for blending between the morph and the base.

Hey, very cool on offering a Lightwave format! I would be very interested in that. I think the Poser bubble would really burst when high quality low cost content is available for other programs.
