When zygote was using it on their figures it resulted in damaged UVs. That was proably an older version, but be careful.

Jack, How can I forget!!! It's good to be back. After the huge mess with the forum problems 6 or so months ago I moved over to the 3ds max forum. But, they just aren't as much fun. By the way it's good to see ya to. Anthony, sory I didn't answer your question before, but I was running out of the house when I replied earlyer. :^( Kev, I Downloaded their demo and it worked great, but took out (perposely) every fith poly. the maps looked great though. Thanks guys, and it's good to be back. -Gabe-

Gabe, I don't know if Lightwave "scene" files are something different, but 3DWin converts .LWO models to .3DS (and it's shareware). http://www.stmuc.com/thbaier/

3DWin is good for normal meshes, but Poser ones get destroyed in it as far as retaining "morphs" and such. PolyTrans did the same thing. I recently got a newer version of PolyTrans and haven't tried it yet on Poser figures. gsalas, Lightwave will export to 3DS format, as well as import 3DS (and obj). Modeler/Tools/Custom. There is a plug-in for it. it will export in .obj format too. This is what I have been using on my new combined figures and such :o) Also, if you want to use Poser in Lightwave, I have written a new tutorial on how to do it. Go to the SF-A link ot the right, then locate our Poser Q&A forum to find the tutorial.

..err The link reads as "Sci-Art / Poser Talk" on the right, when it should read "SciFi-Arts Forums"
