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:

  1. Select the "Images" menu button. This will bring up the "Images Panel" dialog box.
  2. Select the "Load Sequence" button. This will bring up the "Load Image Sequence" dialog box.
  3. 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.

  4. 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:
