Ok! I set up a bug with IK. added SoftFX to get hair moving and secondary anim. Works great except when I try to save the mdd file through the SoftFX pannel, it doesn't load properly when re-loading the scene. No big deal as I can recalculate the SoftFX and It works fine. I rendered the scene in two passes (backround-bug). Now I want to render ambiant occlusion, Zbuffer and so but SOFT FX won't work anymore. I get a mssg "PFX for LW8 (no dynamics)" even when restarting the Soft FX from scratch. What puzzle me is THIS IS THE SAME SCENE!

Anybody knows whats happening?

Thank you!

I've had this too. Check that the files are saving with the necessary file extension. Can't remember off hand what this is, but it usually clears the problems up. Also make sure your content directory is set to where you have saved your work. I have a specific drive folder for all lightwave development and set the content to point there.

Hope this helps.

Ok! I found the problrm: a two points poly was left in my object. Didn't see it at first glance because there were skelegons in my object and they are two points polys. I cleaned up the mesh before, don't know what happened in between but... it works now.
Thank you for your replies!
