Now, I can only confirm the possibility to transfer and use any lwo model in FG. I experienced it , since i am an "Old Amiga user" (connected on my local network the computer is still sitting in my office :) ), using Lightwave and Imagine , for instance among a lot of other objects, my very first version of BlackBird was done with it. Many years ago when i discovered FG, i started to convert these objects to ac format. At that time Blender was not very accurate. As far i remember, i probably used a convertion from lwo to dxf. Recently i did used Blender to convert again some old models (Fouga Zephir) without problem. -- Gérard http://pagesperso-orange.fr/GRTux/ J'ai décidé d'être heureux parce que c'est bon pour la santé.
