Synchronize with Lightwave?

[tonyg]

Hi All;

I got the Aura -> Hub comminication working, after a few false starts, but I still have a wee problem. The apps are not synchronizing with each other:

1. Changes made in Modeler (say, addinbg a new texture or renaming a surface) are not visible in Aura, unless I restart Aura, and

2. Once I've painted a texture in Aura, and hit "Save" in the LW filter panel, it does not get updated in Modeler until I go to Modeler, open the ImageEditor, select the image and choose "Replace". Doesn;t this defeat the purpose of all this hubbing?

Am I missing something? (er, two somethings? ) Or is this just the way it is?

Thanks,

Tony:rolleyes:

i have the same problem, but working with layout. i have one solution, after saving the objects i got the new surfaces within aura. sometimes it's usefull to restart the lightwave preview plugin but sometimes i have to restart aura. but the replace problem with layout/modeler still exists.
allthough all this problems, i have to say, this option really rocks ;-)

found another way to get the new texture to aura without restarting it, just open or create a new object with modeler, go back to aura, lightwave viewer, select the new object and then switch back to the object you want and the new surface or texture appears. works fine here so far. but the update for modeler/layout is still with replace.
