I feel I must defend Lightwave (since I actually have a dongle).
Lightwave is way better than NotePad for the following reasons:
1. Notepad has NO radiosity
2. Notepad only has one viewport. (I wrote Microsoft about this obvious flaw and they said that the reason why is because if they implement other viewport options, such as left and right view, you would not be able to see your letter models, they would all be jumbled up.... actually, I haven't heard back from them yet, but I bet they will say that. I wrote them an e-mail an hour ago and they STILL haven't answered me)
3. I ask you... Where is the Notepad community? Nuff said about that.
4. Have you ever tried to animate anything in Notepad? I waisted 9 hours trying to figure out how to make one animation. Finally, I discovered that Notepad has manual animation buttons (hotkeys are "tab key", "Space bar", "backspace", and "Retern"). However, these make really boring animations becuase they only go in ONE direction. Also, there is NO way to save your animations.... You always have to push (and hold down) a hot key to watch your animation)..... lame.
5. So, Lightwave is WAY better!

In defense of Notepad ( I have a dongle too!)
1. Notepad has much lower system requirements that Lightwave. You can run Notepad on virtually any Windows PC, even back to windows 3.0.
2. Notepad can render a still of it's animation for printout in milliseconds.
3. Notepad is not much of a drain on system resources.
4. Files generated by notepad can be read by virtually any competitors product.

Hey Scott you are clearly the kind of amateur home Note user that keeps dragging the Note community down with your inexperience. As an professional Note user I can assure that Note has some very fine animation tools, and is capable of loading and saving animations.
If you really need help on this one all I'll say is 'Page Up' and 'Page Down' if you're any good with Note you should be able to work it out for yourself

Wow! I guess I really opened up a can of worms with my "Is NotePad going to replace Lightwave?" question in another post.
As a die-hard NotePad fanatic who belongs to several NotePad user groups and subscribes to NotePadPro magazine, I'm really interested in how this all comes out. Personally, I'm not sure it's a fair fight. Lightwave has a lot of catching up to do in terms of cost per feature before I would even consider replacing my NotePad with it. One more thing. For everybody out there who wants an integrated program (i.e. no separate Layout and Modeler) NotePad is it.

| By Fez (63.237.13.2) on Wednesday, July 11, 2001 - 11:31 am: |
During a crunch I once had 56 respective notepads running simultaneously on my desktop. Even with this virtual regiment of notepads neatly arranged across my dual 21 " monitors, my system did not so much as hiccup. Conversely, after I started my 42nd respective Lightwave application, my workstation started to whimper and spew green sparks. Thanks Newtek but I like my fireworks on the fourth. I'm naming my firstborn Notepad.

I agree with Pierre. NotePad 2000 utterly sucks!! MS better get their heads out of their asses.
Talk about bugs! I opened the prog today, unplugged my computer, and lost everything!!

1. I do seem to remember NotePad for the Amiga. With only 2MB of RAM on your system, you may be limited to running it 20 times or so before the evil GURU MEDITATION ERROR gets you.
2. I looked and looked but had no luck finding a NotePad Gallery. So I'll start one now. What do you think?

There is no "depth" button in NotePad per se. But if you are looking for that 3D effect, swivel your monitor at various angles. There's virturally, an inifinte way of manipulating your NotePad rendering using this technique.
There you have it. Simple and elegant, that's NotePad for you.

Hey Steve,
If you look on pg 634, paragraph 4, word 6 letter 12, there's a microdot, encoded in hexadecimal, written backwards,which tells you to put your bounding box threshold up.
Some people just don't read the manuals I guess. Can Microsoft do something about this? Do they have a monkey to spare? ;)

You pathetic suckers uses Notepad? What a bunch of amateurs!!! True professionals (like myself and my cat Pingo) only uses WordPad. It's more difficult to use and has many features which can be confusing to mere mortals such as you, but we who are kings of the visual wordediting industry only uses this tool!! Clients always ask what wordrenderer we use, and when we say "we only use WordPad" they get very impressed and we can get away with tripling the bill.

Ok, I'm a total newbie, and I've been checking out this gallery because I want to do 3d. Most of the stuff here is cool, but the stuff I've seen done with notepad just blows everything else away.
I'm gonna get a new 'puter but I need to know which card is the best for running "pad" - I've got a 8M card (pretty sweet if you ask me)... or do you think I should spend the extra ca$h on a pro card?? maybe I should get some more RAM? - do you think 2x512M is enough?? - also, does anyone know if the new Pentium4 is optimized for "pad". Hey, does it even make sense not to have the fastest machine for "pad"??
I heard there's going to be a new version of "pad" coming out next year with all kinds of new killer features (read: drop shadows etc.) does this mean I have to get a new 'puter again? I'm just worried about spending G's now to run something that gonna be a dinosaur in a year, 'cause everytime there's a new version it always seems slower?
yeah, and I hope the new version comes with a phatty-phat-phat manual (no pdf! - maybe a .txt/.doc format would be acceptable)

Man this is lame, what are you all bored, huh? always talking about how good Notepad is - I never even heard of it, what is this - a joke?
OK, yeah, so if you can render instanteneously, and your alphabet comes in 16 colors, but you have to swivel your monitor to create an animation? - what kind of a backwards-a$$ kinda workflow is that!? OK, so maybe I just point out one serious flaw, and you'll see what I mean?
everyone should know that just because you can afford to be using this "Industry-Standard" of 3d art, doesn't mean you have a right to feel superior to someone who is unfortunate enough to not be able to afford a computer, nevermind "Notepad", yeah and for those who speak against piracy, let it be known that right now there are probably dozens of newbies using cracked copies of Notepad - and should you be worried?? - yeah, if you think that you aren't better than someone else and ar afraid that someone who doesn't support "paying" to be part of "your" community is a bad guy or has bad moral values - sure...
I say give everyone the same choice to learn and experience and you will see that we are all equal. To all the newbies who are starting out: keep your heads up.

Just some interesting information, notepad is used to create almost all of the skin scripts for the new Video Toaster [2]. However, due to some inner problems inside the UFO department at Newtek, we have been forced to using BBEdit. Lightwave was definatly considered as an option, but BBEdit just had more of the tools that would be needed to meet the very tight Toaster [2] deadline for shipping.

First of all.. this is probably one of the most entertaining threads I've read anywhere... It's refreshing to see that there's a community based around a given 3D package that sees the whole elitist "our program rules, all others suck" mentality for the joke it is.
That is, of course, assuming that there really *isn't* some kind of wierd elitist group built up around notepad.. or have I just stepped into a field of landmines here? <=^o ...
In any case... a good friend of mine literally does use notepad for some of his 3D graphics (when he's not using Rhino), and has done some pretty darned amazing stuff with it - using POVRay as the renderer. It's wierd to think of "programming a 3D image", but he does it. So, within all the humor there really is a bit of irony...
Just thought I'd share that with y'all.

the un-documented keystroke for puncuation in Note is 'SHIFT' plus the number of your choice.
I hate it when companies try to cut corners and not put stuff in the manual to save on typing costs. this feature alone should be it's own 20 page chapter in a manual.
for example the keystroke 'SHIFT'+ 8 gives you ' * '...........
Now what is this?
how is it used?
what are all the grammatical permintations of the usage?
is it a Noun, Verb, Adverb?
Can it be used as any of them??

Okay, with absolute respect for doran´s excellent piece of code (although I can still see a few mods coming down that road to account for the excessive amount of exclamation signs that particular script version could unwantedly induce), I still prefer to do my punctuation MANUALLY!!!!! Sure, you can rig your notepad file with all sorts of scripts, but in the end it only takes the control away from the artist. I say let us punctuate manually, it's more laborious but in the end the results are much more organic!!! (who can call himself an artist if he needs a paperclip telling him how to go about his work anyway huh?)
By the way people, WORDWRAP is a FACT!!!!! I happen to be on the beta program for NP and all I can say is it absolutely ROCKS MY WORLD!!!!! I hear MS went so far as to hire talents from the original CygnusEd team to develop this feature.

glad to have you aboard...

I'm glad this thread came to the top again because I have a new issue.
I'm sorry, but I've looked all over Microsoft's site and there's nothing at all about a Mac OS X native version of Notepad. They could just be waiting for MacWorld Expo to make their announcement, but until they get off their butts I'm just gonna have to use LightWave for time being, and I'm p*ssed.
I mean, they've got Excel and stuff for the Mac, why not Notepad? I'm sure they just don't want to port their "crown jewel" to a competing platform...
Hey, I just thought - Virtual PC! Omygod, yesss!! Lemme call Connectix! I'll let you guys know if this crazy idea works out!

Did anyone in this thread ever explain how I can import Notepade format (.txt) files into Lightwave?
(silly as it may be, I could have used this the other day. I was doing a "stack of newspapers" render, and had to create an image map for the top page. I spent an hour typing text into Wordpad, formatted to 3 inch margins, capturing it with PSP, pasting the image... lather rinse repeat til I got it right. A kind of texture-mapped font would have been faster maybe.)

I think the only way to do it is by coughing up an additional $395 for the NP2LW conversion plug-in developed by Dynamic Realities. (Don't know why it wasn't just incorporated into the app code)
| By Jim Williams (Hiraghm) (65.70.121.97) on Tuesday, January 01, 2002 - 12:26 pm: |
I was wondering...
Should I upgrade to Notepad XP? I hear it's a lot more feature-rich (read: bloated) but I'm concerned about the registration feature. Is it true that I have to list the number of stitches in my appendectomy scar in order to register NP XP? I'm really worried about this because I don't have an appendectomy scar.

Hmmm...just to give you guys a word of warning, I tried Notepad XP, and after saving 5 documents, I had to call Microsoft to re-register it 8(.
| By Mark (Markl) (207.235.86.2) on Tuesday, January 15, 2002 - 04:30 pm: |
Here's another reason Notepad is better than Wordpad:
When you enter your permanent license key for Lightwave, if you save it in Wordpad, it puts .rtf at the end of it, making it License.key.rtf! Lightwave won't find your license key! Oh no! But, using Notepad, I just save the file (changing the file type to all files) and it works! Yay!

Okay, I finally broke down and upgraded to Wordpad 2K (only cost me $199 for the upgrade, and they included Win2000 for free!)
But now I have a problem. I downloaded all these nifty plugins from www.padcafe.com, but I can't seem to access any of them. Here's a list of the ones I got:
Paragraph.wps - automatically indents a line of text at the press of the tab key.
Magazine.wps - a set of templates for creating periodicals that will go out of business before the first issue hits the stands
Novel.wps - automatically creates a WHOLE BOOK for you.. seems to be bugged though. Every word on every page is spelled "aaaaa".
But what good are these cool plugins if I can't use them? 8c(
Have I been ripped-off in upgrading?

Yet another argument in favor of Lightwave over Notepad...
You can make better pr0n with Lightwave!
I know it seems difficult to believe, but if you place naughty bits drawn with Notepad side-by-side with naughty bits drawn with Lightwave, you'll see a clear superiority in the Lightwave rendering!

You did not hear this from me, but lightwave uses some notepad technology. I think there might be a serious debate over this when it comes to legality and copyright. Run lightwave and open the LScript editor. Starting to see what I mean. I think it's possible to enable the notepad shadow cursor through this lscript thing to see what I mean, you have to switch the background color to white and load a pirated version of the nottebad core font. It's not advanced as notepad 8 obivously, but nevertheless it uses notepad code.
| By Christian Brizs (Zamzibam) (209.162.15.49) on Friday, February 22, 2002 - 02:01 am: |
I am currently using Notepad 5.5b. I know, I know. UPGRADE! I will as soon as I can. I am having problems with a render. Here are my settings. Carlo Garamond radiosity is cool, but for some reason it messes up the anti-aliasing settings and yes yes, no shading reduction in 5.5b I promise I will upgrade. Any advice. It's still a WIP. I was also thinking the lens flares might be too bright.
| By steve (Prospector) (216.224.160.68) on Saturday, February 23, 2002 - 05:28 pm: |
Make sure your Carlo font is the real one. Cracked versions use the 'Old' Atari font.This looks like what might be going wrong.And because you are STILL using 5.5 and not 8 each letter has to have it's settings set to AA as they are not under the same tab, (this was a MS bug).And Lens Flare needs to have the falloff setting set as you will remove the sharp edges (ver 8 was fixed in this area).
hope that helps

| By Robert Wilson (Robewil) (64.60.61.194) on Monday, April 22, 2002 - 03:02 pm: |
To those of you who see this post and wonder what this is all about. It really began last summer when, it seemed that there were new posts every day bashing Lightwave and saying how BrandX and BrandY were better. It still happens now, but not so frequently. It was getting very tiresome to me and I'm sure, many others, not to mention Newtek. One of the commonly used topic formats for these posts were "Is (pick your 3D app here) going to replace Lightwave?" I finally got really disgusted with a topic named " Lightwave is SH*T!"
After reading many of these posts, it became apparent to me that many people don't understand the fact that while maybe not every single feature of Lightwave is necessarily best in class, Lightwave delivers extremely well. People who claim "you can't do this in Lightwave" are really just revealing their own limitations. In the " Lightwave is SH*T!" post mentioned above, I decided it was time to expose how silly many of these Lightwave bashing posts were by comparing the most meager of programs I could think of, which happened to be Notepad and find a bunch of reasons why it could be declared "better than Lightwave." I intended to leave it at that, but obviously, many Lightwave people saw my point and wanted to push it further, thus, this "Notepad Vs. Lightwave" post.
This post has now endured for over 9 months. I'm not sure it's the record on Newtek's discussion forum but it may be. I must admit, I'm a bit proud of this fact. But I am also overjoyed with how the Lightwave community has responded. Instead of sinking to discussion consisting of "Lightwave sucks", "Lightwave Rules", "Does not", "Does too", etc. We fight back in a much more creative and humorous fashion. For those who fight the fight, Thank you.

Well, I just wanted to tell you all that I just received Notepad XP by aquiring an appendectomy scar, and I just gotta tell you it was worth every stitch!!!!!!!
Multiple undo's, word wrap, and it it now works as a modal panel within the windows interface. It also has several seach functions and last but not least it has got something LW hasn't:
integrated help file including online resources right from within NP.
Now I'll have to go check out some strange abdominal sounds I've been getting since the surgery, so if you'll all excuse me...nghh....

Notepad, shmotepad! I use RecycleBin 9.83. It has superior particle disappearance capabilities and the Norton plugin suite is, well sweet. Especially the Norton Protected Pornography Files plugin that won't let you hid your incredible waste of time & disk space from your wife, girlfriend or mother (If you are living with all three, Norton strongly urges you to move out of that particular trailor home). Also with the Norton plugin you have unlimited undos! One more thing - RecycleBin 9.83 rules over Macintosh's Trash 5.2 - Nuff said!

Sorry Andy - I know we share the same name but I have to differ on your ill-informed opinions of Recycle Bin. As an age old Amiga fan I struggled long and hard with the decision of PC or Mac and in the end (based on the fact that Microsoft has more ads on TV than Apple do) I bought a PC. One of the key features that sold me on Windows XP was the fact that it had a "Recycle Bin" (and not a shiny waste paper basket whose only purpose seems to be to get bigger or smaller whenever the pointer is near it) but quite frankly I feel cheated and ripped off. I've consigned many dud renders, two shoddy first person shoot-em-ups and a copy of Maya PLE to my so-called "Recycle Bin" and thus far it has yet to recycle anything. I was hoping at the very least I could recycle PLE into Maya Unlimited but it appears I'm s**t out of luck...

Okay - I upgraded to Wordpad 2k just a few weeks ago - now I understand theres a "free upgrade" from Notepad thats gonna be announced next week and I must say Im not impressed.
WHAT ABOUT THE LONGSTANDING NOTEPAD USERS!!!
Dont forget us - we've kept the scene going with contributions all this time. To be paid back by allowing the newest users to get upgraded for NOTHING is insulting !
Im going to email Newtek about this situation, but Im not sure whether it will work out. Maybe you guys should do the same - just to show them we are united on this issue.
Martin...
(Incidentally - its 20 past midnight here - I want you all to know that Im annoyed as hell at this thread. Apart from spending the last 10 minutes reading it - and now posting - I laughed so hard in the middle that I woke the house up - great - thanks a bunch )

Newtek answered - theyve despatched a copy of PhraseToaster 3 and put me on the Wordpad 2002 Beta test list. The apologise for the upset - but they cant make a habit of "moving the goalposts" so this will be the last time - plus now I will obviously be paying for the obligatory WP 2004 upgrade - although there is a 2k2.5 interim upgrade coming that will be free to all.

notice how, if you're running wordpad on a win2k box, and when you save a text document (notepad doc - no formatting) it gives you this consistent and irritating message reminding you over and over and over and over again if you are really really really really sure about saving this document without any formatting? "you are about to save the document in Text_only Format, which will remove all formatting, are you sure you want to do this?" i mean, what the heck is it trying to do? there IS NO FORMATTING IN THAT FILE IN THE FIRST PLACE! sounds like a forced conversion to me...

I`m sorry but you lot have lost the plot!
What is the use of notepad - it will only save tichy little files no matter
how much text you put in - it`s taking ages to fill my 60GB HD.
Whilst Word XP is wonderfull, with a bit of coaxing, a few crashes, I have
managed to create a totally blank document 105MB in size. Now, try doing
that in Lightwave or notepad. Size Matters!
(if anyone would like proof to this claim I will happily e-mail the 105MB
Blank Doc)

If it is taking you ages to fill yer 60 gig HD then you don't spend enough time in front of yer computer taking notes.
As I have banished all pens and pencils from the office, it now takes no time to fill the server I have online for just note taking which has a raid setup with 320 gigs space...
and that is with my hunt and peck system of typing
You need to increase your computer time to no less than 20 hours a day..

May I offer a new solution for all you close-minded NotePad users...try OS X's TextEdit. Its workflow surpasses NotePad and WordPad. It has rtf and txt modes, which allow quicker rendering times, depending on the model being rendered. TextEdit also adds new fetures to the "Find and Replace" editor, such as returning a count for replaced items, among other things.
TextEdit also comes with a much better icon. It is 128x128 pixels like most OS X native icons, so it is easier to click on if your vision is 20/800.
Apple is now offering a student discount on TextEdit. Be aware, though. Serious measures have already been taken toward individuals that buy student copies of TextEdit and distibute them on eBay for the full price.

As you can see, many of the square artifacts have been eliminated using the F&R AA process embedded in TextEdit, a plugin that isn't even available on Flay.com for NotePad. Just thought I'd point that out.
Oh, a bit of history concerning the two programs.
NotePad was written by MAX writalot and TextEdit was writted by LeWis 1337.

Beware...
Text Edit will cost you in the neighborhood of 3500 bucks !!!
I took Chris at his word and immediatly went out to get Text Edit at Comp USA but the salesman said that I would have to get a Mac to go with it to run correctly, as it won't run on a PC.
Didn't mention that part,Chris
Then I had to get Photoshop,and some other programs because my versions would not run on the Mac, now I gotta get a new VT2 board and a new copy of LW.
So at this moment I don't think that Text Edit is worth the price.
And I just remembered that I DO have it for the Amiga, so I really wastede alot of money.

By the way, i hear that Microsoft is shipping some high-end hardware that enhances the usage of Notepad. As of yet, how they work is still undisclosed. They are:
1. Arm-pads
2. Shin-pads
And if you purchase the whole NotePad Pro package (which includes NotePad XP and the hardware mentioned above), you'll receive a free table ornament.

Wail Street Journal
2001-2002 3D Productivity Drops 21.765%
A catastrophic in 3D production was announced yesterday in Washington, DC.
Polly Gone, Senior Analyst at the U.S. Labor Bureau stated that there was a 25% drop in 3D wireframe meshes produced last year. Surfacing dropped 18.53%. "This is attributed to a forum thread on a Newtek Lightwave forum - whatever that is - called Notepad vs. LightWave." Ms. Gone went on to state "We haven't been able to compute the damage done to 'Rendering', much less Radiosity'... our calculators don't go that high".

i prefer my notepad, because it is much more user-friendly and not so complicated to use than lightwave. it had cost me one week to find out how to add text in modeler. the fonts must first be added to an internal font-list!! this isn´t good workflow...
notepad got all his fonts ready for takeoff and need no adjust :-)
much easier to handle ! my vote for notepad !

Am I the only one who thinks Polly Gone is cute? And I just love her kids, Skelly and Luxe!
Seriously though, on several occasions I've pushed Notepad to its Letter-per-word limit. Of course, I'm still running 2K.5b, so I don't know if the latest version has fixed these limits. Personally I'd like to see some scenes with over 65,535 words per paragraph. Especially when you get into the true poetry that some people put into it!
Another thing that bugs me is that after a while, everyone's Notepad artwork tends to look the same. I'm wondering if everyone's just in a rut with whatever the new, trendy toolset is. Like when they implemented Printer Support, suddenly EVERYONE had to be printing their artwork. In fact, whenever I'd post something that WASN'T printed, no one would even look at it or comment on it. Basically if it's not printed, indented, or contain some italicized words, it doesn't get noticed.
By the way, has anyone seen Character Map? It's a really cool program that lets you browse the different symbols in a font. A must-have for anyone who's tried to rig a character in Notepad!
Later,

Jeff, I think if yo looked into Dereks advice and used the charecter map, then you would be able to get better and cleaner renders, IE the right charecters in the right places would smooth out those jaggies.

I agree. The shape of the characters make all the difference. If/when I have some time I'd like to do a gigancic dot painting - something using pointilism effects with the full notepad being about two monitors wide, and maybe shrunk up later... Any of you could give it a try... I'm always low on time.

I heard that the guys over at lindows.com work hard to incorporate a new crossover program named "NoteWave" or "LightPad" into their OS, which combines the best out of two designer worlds into one application. Looks pretty promising so far. I think this will shut up this stupid discussion for good.

I'd really like to see someone try to do a better job than I did, using just notepad, maybe highlighting before screenprint, or using screen capture devices like screencorder to get avis that are then coverted to gifs, after a little cleanup. I see lots of potential for something really bizzare, simple, and interesting here.

Keep the children's eyes closed... That calculator is Satanic ;)
This is a really old trick, and it works best on real calculators with sans serif fonts...

When they port LW over to Linux I'll be using the Rosetta stone of editors, the VI editor! Now, that's an editor!!

I got a warez version of lightpad 3.0 beta version! It's not registered. though why you have to register a beta version, I'm not sure....
But it's awesome. As you can see, it has the combined power of lightwave, and notepad all in one. On the bottom left, you can see the realtime preview rendered version with anti-aliasing, and the left bottom doesn't have it.

pdf export in that notepad pro is overrated... You can technically make pdfs with just a print driver if you print to file instead of paper and have postscript on when you do it.

Notepad for XP Pro question...
I've just got Notepad for XP up and running.
Wow, what a pretty window...
but I keep getting this fuzzy look.
(sorry, don't know how to post a rendered copy)
I'm working with George on this new trilogy
and the timeline doesn't exactly leave room for
these types of problems but we switched to Notepad due to the issues we're having with Toaster CG.
Can someone help?
Is it my video card?
Should it be from a specific company?
Is this another version of software that only works within the very limited specs given by it's creators?
Please help or George isn't going to release the DVDs of all the movies to you until 2020.

Ah... yep. There is actually a bug inside the complex ASCI rendering engine that only shows up when running XP. Notepad actually goes threw several iterations of offset blur when doing high resolution renders once installed. There is a trick though. What you can do is drop Notepad's output resolution to just under 1000k. Render your scene, then import the output back into Notepad and re-render again using the "Load from Rendered Ouput" flag. This works for me. I should post a tutorial on the NewTek website but to be honest i'm too darn lazy.

I was also told not to try live switching with Notepad using the Toaster.
Apparently, you have to save your file, render to another file, import that file into TeD, enable overlay, then try and switch without crashing.
This is too much for a live environment...
I'm going back to DosEdit for now,
it was/is stable and have dozens of copies here.
Does anyone know if this is going to run on XP Pro?

Richard, I will tell u soon I'm waiting for my new dual Xeon with XP Pro.
Hope it can handle the Notepad, can't wait to try that smoothshift function for typo (they call it "Bold", Don't know why).
Does Notepad support Multithread ?
BTW, I have troubles rendering through net. It doesn't render all the letters of the sentence...
Any idea?
| By Richard Stallsmith (Lwaddict) (63.125.144.5) on Monday, November 11, 2002 - 08:38 am: |
Facial,
There was a general post from the Notepad technical team yesterday morning.
They say that there's another patch version that'll be available soon. There were also promises that it may address some of the many flaws in the current program.
The tech even stated that an entirely new version of the software would be out soon and we could happily kick down with some more of our hard earned money for a "potentially" working version. (even though we've already done this).
I'm beginning to take a more serious look at swiping the webpage script used to post in this forum and use it instead.

Notepad is for L00Z3RZ.
ED for the Amiga R0X0RZ!
ED FOR3V3R!!!
Typing CTRL * to save is only for the L33T among us! If only Lightwave had this functionality!!!
