Loading Lightworks Textures.

Hello ArchiCAD personnel,
I have downloaded texture archives from Lightworks-user.com.
Please tell me how or where to place the file so
the lightworks render engine can load the texture from its archives so I can use these textures with ACV11.

Thanks,

In the same place that you download the .lwa files you'll also find a tutorial called 'How to install plugin shaders in LightWorks-based applications' Under the Articles/Tutorials section.

However, this does not tell you where you are supposed to place the .lwa files in a program like ArchICAD. They will not work if you put them in the Lightworks area of the Library so on both Windows and Mac. here is where you Put them

Windows: C:/Program Files/Graphisoft/Archicad N (where N is the version number)/Addons/Visualisation/smdata/Archives

MAC: Macintosh HD/Applications/Graphisoft/ArchiCAD N (where N is the Version Number)/Addons/Visualisation/smdata/Archives

The LWA file will load the next time you load that version of ArchiCAD and will be available only through the Materials Palette when you choose to load a Lightworks Texture.

Hope this Helps. Notified (29/08/08 11:47am)
