Why??!!!

[papa]

why same scenes created in LW7.5 and exported as .w3d look VERY different from the ones exported from [8]? All lights seem screwed up!

To be more specific: lw[8] DOES NOT export spotlights. Is this a known bug?

Hey Papa,

I'm not sure if its a know bug, but Lightwave Does export the spotlights - it just screws them up.

For some reason it sets the spotlight cone angle to a very small number.

The workaround that i've used it to set the coneangle back in a prepare movie script

member("3d cast member name").light("lightname").spotAngle = 10.0000

if you are not already using it, the 3DPI is great. lot better than the property inspector that ships with Director

Hope this helps

Thanks for the tip. But LW[7.5] seemed to work fine, without this tweak in Lingo.
