LightWave Setup

In this section, I'll take you through how I recommend you setup LightWave, with a view to facilitating version upgrades, and setting up network rendering with ScreamerNet and third-party controllers.

I'll take you through everything step-by-step, and if you do get stuck you'll find contact information on the User Tab.

Why Spaces Are Bad.

Why Spaces Are Bad In LightWave.

Installing LightWave.

Reconfiguring An Existing LightWave Installation.

Updating LightWave.

Configuring LightWave - Setting Up The Configs Folder.

Shortcut Icons - launching LightWave and Modeler from desktop or start menu icons.

Organising LightWave's Content Directory - the Studio structure.

You CAN Double-Click! - configuring Windows to open LightWave objects and scene files.

Hub-ble Trouble - sorting out problems with the Hub.

No Hub shortcuts for Layout and Modeler.

ScreamerNet setup - coming soon.

My ScreamerNet guide was, I believe, one of the first comprehensive guides on the internet, and I know that there are others out there based on it. I'm working on an updated version which should be online before much longer.

NEW! Running FPrime's WSN on BNR (Butterfly Net Render).
