After getting Propack and Lightwave set up and an initial test with one figure which worked fine,I tried to load a large scene with four figures,parented props,a large piece of terrain and a lot of set dressing props.I do not get any error messages but after loading nothing shows in the Lightwave window!??Before I start the laborious task of deleting items from the Poser scene one by one and then trying to load into Lightwave to find what the problem is,I wondered if anyone has been down this road already and can offer advice which would be greatly appreciated.

Forget the export/import LWO function in ProPack, it does not work that well, I believe it supports only up to version 6 objects on import. Your best bet is to save your posed figures as obj's and load them up into Lightwave and reapply the textures yourself, tedious but it works. The other option you have is Greenbriars suite of plug-ins for Lightwave which do work really well.

DominiqueB, I have looked in the Poser and Lightwave sections for Greenbriars plug-ins. I am probably missing something but can you tell me where I can find them? Many thanks! mokba

I humbly offer my Poser to Lightwave observations.

Does it list the individual figures and props in the items list?

I believe my original tutorial is still available. It's the same tut that was published in 3D World magazine in 2001.

Many thanks to you all--it looks like it was the walk paths causing the problem--Cheers
