Lightwave Model on blitz?

Miscellaneous Forums/Graphics Showcase/Lightwave Model on blitz?

Is there a way to use a lightwave model on blitz3d without converting it to .md2/.3ds format?

I think I should have wrote this in a different section.

you could use the dstorm plugin to .x then ultimate unwrap to b3d

There's a Lightwave exporter in Specs and Utils, does that not work anymore?

The one in Specs and Utils appears to be broken (the zip file, un-openable).

Take a look at this one:

Every time I try to open a model it says 'memory access violation'!

I don't use LW so I can't help you there.

I can only say... be absolutely positively sure that it's not your code or file path or anything related.

Also, I searched "Lightwave B3D" on google and several links came up; one of which was that thread. Perhaps there are others.

it does work ive just tested it

is it converting, does the mesh show in lwconvert

1: triple mesh before conversion

2: make sure all files are in the same folder
ie: mesh & texture

I use Lightwave 5.6 and it only exports to .lw files as far as I know.

ultimate unwrap 3d should help.
