Floorplan to lightwave tutorial

[Silkrooster]

I created a tutorial to show how you can create houses with Floorplan3D and import them into Lightwave. The tutorial is located on my forum at http://www.silkrooster.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29. Since this is promoting another program, I am leaving the tutorial on that forum.
The video is a wmv file with a size of 7MB and is around 5 minutes long.
This is one of my first tutorials, which shows I need practice :rolleyes: , but if you have any question, I'll try to answer them for you.
See you on my forum.

Here is a little know fact. If you use Floorplan version 4, it uses Lightscape as a rendering engine. If you rendered out a picture in floorplan it would create a lightscape temp file/.LP/.LS file in floorplans document folder named tiapan. after you render a picture go to that folder and you can load it directly into Lightscape. All the modeling is Lightscape complient. It is a very fast and results can be quite good. Use to use it back in 5.6 with Lightwave/Lightscape plugin. You have to have floorplan 4 they dropped lightscape after that.

Had the program for a while, even got over 100 floorplans off the web.
Whenever I've pulled it into LW in that past, there have always been problems at the corners where walls are not fully aligned / connected. Still, a fast way to put together buildings.
