Re: [Virtools] Lightwave 6 conversion utility

Kris and Peter:

I just posted a basic tutorial for converting a Lightwave 5.6 scene to Virtools.
You can find it at http://64.208.111.220/tutorials/tut01/  It's a work in progress and very
simplistic.  Yet I think that it's necessary to get Lightwave users excited about using
Virtools.

Check it out and let me know if it helps, how to improve.
