Hi CryTek

Just wondering, as a long time LightWave 3D user, what would be the changes of seeing a CryExport plugin for LightWave 3D?

I know there will be a whole bunch of us wanting to create models for this awesome engine!

The SDK files for LightWave can be found here:

Regards
Matt

Does the CryExport plugin come with the SDK?

would be not that problem to go the extra mile trough max to export
the stuff i build in LW but im not shure if i get the dynamic stuff cleen exported
like endo morphs and baked IKbone animations.(or even vertex color and weight maps)
i heard that ".lwo" is the format with the most informations on each piot so i assume that
max is not able to read and handle them all. ?(

i dont want to go the step back to max and do the stuff there while
i got an fine workflow with a "REALY" professional tool at home ...


Yea, already thought that it was just that your messages looked a bit weird to me :easter:

I am sure Ive seen you post that before :)

Lightwave isnt planned as far as I am aware, however, that doesnt mean someone cant write one. One of the best CGF/CGA importers for CE1 was written by a community member and went on to becoming a Crytek employee, so community made exporters is proven and possible.
