Nope, I mean 1.1d :D


fredborg(Posted 2004) [#9]
Err...make that version 1.11 :D


Ross C(Posted 2004) [#10]
That what i call an update...version D


MadJack(Posted 2004) [#11]
Now if there was just a Lightwave scene importer...


Beaker(Posted 2004) [#12]
But there is.


TeraBit(Posted 2004) [#13]
Is there? Where? The .LWO importer is Geometry only (I know I wrote it).

Problem with Lightwave is the Scene is a different file (.LWS) from the objects (.LWO) and is ASCII as opposed to the binary form of the .LWO files.

That being said, it's easy to import basic positioning, it's heirachal animation that is a pain.


fredborg(Posted 2004) [#14]
Hey Lee :)

Have you got some specs on the LWS format? Might give it a go, as I can walk around animation it shouldn't be a big problem to add it :)


Beaker(Posted 2004) [#15]
Oops, my mistake. Didn't realise there were other formats.


TeraBit(Posted 2004) [#16]
@Fredborg -

Yes I've got the docs around here somewhere... I'll post a link when I find them..

By the way, did you want the new .LWO loader from the latest Tattoo version. It uses the Tesselate stuff you did and can handle polys of up to 1024 points and even ignores skelegons and the like! It's not as well tested yet though!


fredborg(Posted 2004) [#17]
That would be great!

TeraBit(Posted 2004) [#19]
Ah yes there it is :)

Ok, I'll send it on over some time this evening.
