Messiah plugins = LW slowdown(?)

#1

Just getting back into Messiah so forgive the possibly idiotic questions…

Recently added the Messiah(2.4) LW.p and Lightwave 8.3 takes ages(30+ seconds) to start now.

I was wondering if the connection was even necessary anymore? Doesn’t the latest Messiah include a mdd. exporter? Doesn’t this provide deformation in LW?

#2

Yeah - I’d recommend using the mdd deformer. It just makes everything convoluted having the two interlinked imo. And once you’ve set up your mesh with the mdd, its just as fast to update.

Thanks dobermunk… now anyone have any idea how I can remove the Messiah.p?

The Master plugin is “locked” when I try to get rid of it… geez, I’ve been using Max too much at work and now I’m a reborn newbie when it comes to LW/Messiah!

Alt+F11, Grouping Method File, select messiah.p, Delete, Done, restart LightWave.
this is on LightWave 7.5
i hope this helps
