Plug – in database
Flay is a web site where you can search other web sites for plugins. If you need a plugin for Lightwave this is the very first place to check. The address is www.flay.com
If I missed anyone my apologies as this is going to be a growing database. Anyone wishing to be listed, please pm me or access my forum and post a message.

Funny, I thought about the odd couple after I made my post. This database is a word file, that I just copy and paste. Every little while some one asks so I thought this would be much simpler than typing. I got the idea from BeeVee since that is what he does with instructions for clearing the config files.

I'd like to thank you for the list as well. Because I'm a novice at Lightwave as well, and any help is greatly appreciated!
