1. Copy the WSN.exe file to your LightWave Programs directory - the same one that contains Layout, Modeler and LWSN.exe

2. In the BNR controller: File Menu --> Edit Custom Types

a. In the Render exe box enter the path to the WSN.exe file from Step 1

b. In the Dir 1 box, enter the path of your LightWave Config folder

c. In the Dir 2 box, enter the path to your Content Directory - if you've read my guide on Organizing LightWave's Content Directory, you'll know that there are great advantages to what I call the Studio structure - this is one of those times!

7. Go to the Command tab:

9. Click OK and you're ready to go...

Finally, don't forget that scenes must be added with the Add Custom Scene command, or they'll be rendered by the standard LightWave setup!
