Hi, I just found the Imagine to lightwave converter in the Impulse library section. Will this converter work with Imagine L/T? Thanks *Pascal*

Pascal, The Im -> Lw converter is offered by the uploader of the message file. The quality of the conversion depends on the software being offered. Imagine object formats are interchangeable with Imagine for PC, Imagine for Amiga, and Imagine L/T, so in this respect you have no problem. -GreG

So when you load an object with several states into LT… I guess it will use the default state and ignore the rest. That's at least what WR3D (the converter) does. -David

David, thats true. But the basic object will be there, with hierarchy and attributes intact. Obviously, if Imagine Lite has no states, only the form in which the object is saved in will be loaded. The bones themselves are lone axes, so I venture to guess that they will also be converted as just axes grouped to the object. States subgroups should also be retained. -GreG
