In Lightwave the skeleton is defined by a hierarchy of bone nodes in the.lws scene file, but rather than being connected to the main scene 3D hierarchy graph the Lightwave skeleton is parented as a child hierarchy to the mesh object to which it deforms.

 the lightwave shades project
This is an experimental project that I hope will get some support from other Lightwave plugin programmers, including both experienced plugin writers as well as people wanting to learn how to write their first Lightwave plugin.
So I learned to write Lightwave shader plugins, and discovered that converting simple (emphasis on simple) RenderMan shaders into a C version of a Lightwave shader was fairly straightforward.
So the ground work for a Lightwave Shader project was complete, and by adding a common LWPanels interface and support for envelopes, I felt this project might provide educational (and hopefully useful) shader plugins.

 Mastering LightWave’s All Important Config Files, Mastering LightWave 8 ScreamerNet for Mac OS X, DreamLight ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
In LightWave, the Content Directory itself may be named whatever you like, but there are some specific subdirectories that LightWave expects to find inside the Content Directory that you should not rename or move.
In LightWave 7.5, if you are specifying your Content directory through LightWave and the Config file, rather than hard coding it into the LWSN command line, then you should make sure the path to the Content directory is short enough that no paths, for objects, images, etc. will be longer than 128 characters in total.
Since the Multithreading setting is stored in the config file, and LightWave and LWSN run optimally with different render thread settings, it is often useful to configure LightWave and your LWSN nodes to use different config files.
