Hi everyone!
I've just started to learn Lightwave and I have a little question:
How can I render splines? I draw a few hairs with a spline tool but it does not show in Layout at all. And if I can't render spline how can I convert it to two point polygons?

The only way I could find is selecting Bevel tool, clicking RMB, then delete polygon so I'd have only 2 point polygons left.

Thanks for the help.

This plugin is neat. You sketch your splines in your model. You create a generic "tube" part that is well segmented.

Add the tube part to layout as many times as you need for each spline. Invoke the plugin as an object deformation and voila, "rendered" splines.
