How can you make an embedded scene in LW out of a rig done in Messiah ? I usually start LW, launch messiah:interface, load rigg and when Messiah asks me if I would like to link objects to LW I say yes and LW crashes. Anybody had more luck with that ?

I had more luck with doing it by hand. The automatic process crashed on me too.
But I didn't use the LW plugin for a long time so I may be outdated (I use PointOven).

There is a fix being talked about in the beta forum. If I were you I'd contact pmG and ask them about it.

I have downloaded the fix from August 16 (messiahLW.p file). You can now load and import embedded scenes into LW without problems and without tweaking lwmastersX.cfg file but you still can't use F12 connect to host in Messiahh while it is connected to LW.

Are you working with LW9?

I've always been an advocate of PO. You will not regret the separation of messiah and LW. It works an absolute treat!

Yes, I am working with LW9.

I don't need PO because messiah has MDD exporter and you can batch export also. LW reads MDDs natively. Should I have PO ? Are there some other nice features in it ?

The native .mdd reader for lightwave loads the WHOLE .mdd into ram which is . . . bad. BUT!. . . I just read about yet another (free) .mdd reader for lightwave that is better at memory management. Where did I read that. . .

Probably Flay.

/me goes looking around.

There ya go.

Looks like it works with Lightwave 9's new nodal shader flow. Cool. . . Looks like the need for Point Oven is slowly going away with the Messiah/Lightwave pipeline.
