Lighwave lights to Blitz3d

Wasn't someone working on an exporter that would take light information out of Lightwave and put in in Blitz3d? It might have been someone at work but I seem to remember us taking entire lws files with lights models and everything and pulling it into Blitz.

Anyone working on this?

sorry, but I doubt it would be of very much help, since DX lights are insanely limited in their use (and numbers).
Most of the 'light information' would have to be discarded anyway...

I specifically remember using someone's exporter and it worked very well. You could place lights, use the attenuation, cone, etc and the blitz scene looked exactly like the lightwave opengl scene. It even set a light to shadow interactively. I know I still have the little demo scene I made on my laptop. I'll dig it out.
