Hi,

i am trying to use messiah Demo as a plugin from LightWave 9, but every time i try to load a scene from messiah LW crashes. Is there a fix or workaround for this?

Greetings

I didn't even know you could use the demo as a plugin. I thought it only worked with a dongled version.

Also. . . I think 90% of us have switched to using the .mdd format to transfer motion/animation over to LW. I know that works really well.

Thank you for the reply. In C4D i am able to use the messiah demo as a plugin but i heard in Cinema most users use the .mdd route too.

Is there a live connection between LW and messiah when you use .mdd, which updates the motion data in LW?

Yes there is but its hardly "live". .mdd allows for much quicker feedback than the messiah:displace plugin does. But the plugin DID work for 8.5. I don't know past that.

Messiah.p and LW9 doesn't work at all at the moment. I'm waiting for the next version of Messiah to have this fixed (that's probably due to some changes on how LW handles displacement, or maybe related to the new hub communication).

Thank you for the answers. I guess my purchase of Messiah will have to wait then.
