Because I don't have Lightwave. :) If you are able to import a 3DS, DXF, DWG, MAX file and you convert it I'll post the file for others. What other formats can you import? Maybe I can get something up there for LW users to use.

Cheers,
Jeff

Hey lildragon, Unfourtunately I don't have that either. If you or anybody does and is able to convert these files to several formats, please let me know.

LW can bring in 3DS and DXF, but those usually aren't the first choices, since they're all triangles only. There's a freebie OBJ exporter for MAX, I've had decent luck with using what it puts out in LW with n-gons intact. Though I think it seems to do some strange things with scale. At any rate might be worth looking into..

***** ***** of ****** of damn ********
:cry: :cry:
i just writed a 10 lines reply and it deleted it in posting.....


anyway again in short shematic version:
-i coudnlt convert a file corretly (unrenderable mess of triangles)
-i built an all-new model over it and deleted the old one.
-the lw 7.0 .obj file is zipped here :http://chubchicken.homestead.com/files/model_finished.zip

caracteristics :
-quasi-exact same as your model
-textures only separed for ''glass'' and ''default'' (that mean the rest of it.
-its currently only white and green.


ive passed some hours on this so i think ive done my part.
now lw user , win this for me! hehe :thumbsup:
