LW>>Unity, complex animation.

I'd like to export a complex, bone based animation to Unity. (Snake looping around a column.) I imagine this will require some sort of point cache to be exported to...

Ah, that's a pity. Best wishes: truly a LW stalwart.

Although presented in a rival software, these techniques are universally applicable, and clearly presented.

Enjoy.

Backing you up here, raymondtrace: the shallowest of Google searches gets one here, fwiw:

If one wished to determine if a shadow is falling on a given point on a surface, how does one do so?

Tnx.

Distributed rendering seems to exist already: are you referring to something specific?

THIS news makes it more imperative (IMO) that LWG continues to research and develop ways for LW users to work productively with Blender.

They should be regarded as "best buddies" in any pipeline. ...

Take a look at the possibilities within the B node editor, showcased at this point:

For a while, splines were a nightmare to work with: if you didn't get them EXACTLY right, no patch resulted.

At some point, they became a doddle, almost bullet-proof (I was very surprised), but I...

Some neglected architectural looks:

Turn on "USE BONES FROM". I disremember where it is. Anyway, just put the armature on a null, and all the objects can share it.

I've got a LEAP too, I'd be interested if anything progresses.

It's sometimes convenient to just double click on an LWO file and have LWM load it.

But, if I do the same w/another file, a duplicate instance of LWM is launched.

How does one prevent that, and...

Is it CTRL?

I remember that simulations are hard to stop: why the ESC key isn't the default for such things I'll never know.

This (FREE!!!! crazy!) program needs a video card, (QUOTE)

goddddamn those are good.

Need to see if my gfx card has the goods.

And are Taft and Polk still available for purchase??

I was just re-reading the Hoser dox and was wondering what specific features it offers over Spline Control? It seems a bit similar.

If Worley is no longer interested in the LW market, it seems a prime opportunity for somebody to step in and take up the slack.

Well, for certain values of "prime". And "opportunity".

Not only is it dumb, it is slow.

Short menus/dropdowns are the SLOWEST of UI devices. The fact that there are dropdowns in LW(M) with TWO options is an abomination.
