LightWave 3D
LightWave 3D version 5.0 reads jpeg files sequences, so Texturemations can be used
directly from the CD with no additional work.
To load an image sequence:
- Select the "Images" menu button. This will bring up the "Images
Panel" dialog box.
- Select the "Load Sequence" button. This will bring up the "Load Image
Sequence" dialog box.
- Locate the directory that contains the sequence you want. Click on the "Files of type:"
list box and select "All Files". (Since the list box's default setting of
"image" will only show .iff and .tga files in a given directory, you won't see
any Texturemation files unless you change it to "All Files".) LightWave uses the
implicit method of specifying a sequence of image files, so select
the first jpeg file from the sequence you've chosen.
- Once an image sequence is selected no image is loaded, and hence nothing is displayed,
until the associated frame is rendered. Once a frame is rendered a thumbnail of the
texture will be displayed in the Images Panel dialog box, like this:
