An early version of the Lightwave v7.5 importer for Xith3d. You can download the Lwimporter.zip source zip here.
It’s released under the BSD OpenSource licence.
Just basic LW files will be parsed. The class to use is ped/lwimport/LwLader.java - please have a look at its Javadoc, which is included. It also lists some notes and the most important limitations including those I’ll try to lift in the near future.
Again I’d like to say that the importer is a “byproduct” of my current hobby project. So …
- it’s never been started with the intention to satisfy the standards of a stand-alone importer;
- its priority is that it works with my project, so unfortunately no time for a never-ending story when it comes to include new features. Of course making it more stable is a very valid issue;
- I’m sure many things could be done better.
What’s missing with no plans to implement:
- Cameras, light sources etc;
- Animation, the simple time based one (no idea how to do this currently).
- A lot more, including all the high-tech stuff of LW, which it got tons of.
Comments, bug reports, etc, appreciated.
Good luck.
