Elliot,
I know what is happening, but first a question…
Are your image sequences named the same in LightWave, but use different
letters capitalized in the file name for the different objects?
The trick is that AmigaDos treats files named this way (eg. Fire.001 and
fiRe.001 as the same file (which they are), but LW treats them as two
separate image sequences. Remember that since offset information is saved
in the object file, you must save all of the different objects using the
same sequence….In order for this to work, you must have a different
surface name for each object using the appropriate sequence (Fire or fiRe)
and each object must be saved with a different name
LightWave always uses the values for the last surface loaded (if the same
surface name but different settings from previous incarnations) which
would include the offset data.
If all of this is kosher, I would bet that the conversion of the sequences
to ScreamerNet names is coming out the same on the ScreamerNet side….
Let me know which it is.
Also, do you mind if I use this in a column some day?
