Title: LW camera to Terragen
Post by: sk8ape on April 13, 2009, 05:56:02 PM

K, so here I go again.
I tried reading everything I could find, but don't seem be clear if this is doable or not.
Is there a straight up way to transfer camera animation and info from Lightwave to Terragen?

I've found and read about LW plugins that export the camera info, but then, the importing info is outdated and doesn't seem to apply to Terragen 2.

Any Ideas?

Thanks for any help.

There was a previous plugin for TG 0.9, but there is no replacement yet for TG2. However if you can get your camera data into CHAN format, TG2 can import that directly. There are a few threads around here discussing various methods.

Thanks for the Quick reply

I did find an Export Chan Plugin in Lightwave's additional plugin tabs, and it worked like a charm. I'm not sure if this is a plugin that ships with Lightwave or one that's on the plugin list of the comapny I'm working for.

Thanks for the help.

Ah excellent. I'm not sure that LW comes with such a function, so it may be your company's custom install. Either way it's great that you have that available. :)
