how to use plugins

[Altarus]

sorry I'm a newbie at Lightwave, but I can't find out how to use plugins after I add them to the Layout. How do I do that?

It depends on what kind of plugin it is. Example: you load a plugin that is a shader. Shaders are found in the surface editor. You would go to where the shaders are and it would be on the list. In the case of a motion plugin it would show up in the motion options pannel under add motion modifier and show up on the list there.

If it is more of a function type plugin, modeler tools as an example, you have to assign them to a button.

You do this in the edit menu layout. You can chek that out in the manual.

Hopefully this will get you into the right direction.
