lwo, version 5 (Lightwave changed file formats after V5.X LRR uses this file format) Export Encapsulated PostScript: I have absolutely no idea what the heck this is.

Export DXF: I am unsure what this exports to.Import: I am unsure how exactly to use these Close All Objects (no default hotkey): Closes all current opened objects Close Object (no default hotkey): Closes the current opened object Sections (no default hotkeys): I am unsure as to the purpose of these.Save All Objects (no default hotkey): Functions as the Save Object, but it saves all opened objects, rather than the one currently viewed in the modeler.Save Incremental SHIFT + S): Apparently functions as the Save Object As, but rather automatically creates a new file in the same directory with a new version 'tag' (Ex: My file was called Box the first save was called Box_v001 the second save was called Box_v002).lwo file as a new file in the browsed directory with a given filename Save Object As (CTRL + S): Saves your.lwo file, saved somewhere on your computer/external media Load Object (CTRL+ O): Loads an existing.

You can switch between objects in the Object Browser (see the picture)

New Object (SHIFT + N): Creates a new object file, opening in a different 'tab'.

However, there are quite a few features that this tutorial covers that previous versions do not contain.įirst, let's look at all the different areas of Lightwave 3D V9.0 and explain what each area's functions are. So you want to learn 3D modeling with NewTek Lightwave 3D? This tutorial will go over the different features of Lightwave V9.0, which contains almost all, if not all, of the features covered by previous versions of the program.
