Hi Lightwave-User, we work with LW and have some problems to export our animated objects to directX (.X) There is only an old exporter from Dstorm (Jp). Is there any other way to export lwo´s with weightmaps, bones and ik etc.? Thanx for helping from germany Hanssteffen :-)

Yes, the Dstorm plugin is old and I never got it to work.

I use Deep Explorer to convert my objects and scenes into .X files. I haven''t tried anything with bone animation or weight maps. I believe it supports bones but not sure about weight maps.

There is another plug-in available to convert .lws straight to .x I haven''t tried it yet but it looks promising.
