I recently found a ton of old Lightwave objects I want to import into Blender. Issue is when i import you can’t see the object. Only the points are available. It’s like all the faces got removed.
Any ideas?
Are your files still in Lightwave, i.e. can you export them in a different format? What format are you using to export them?
If you’re stuck with just the point data, have a look here.
I found that you’re better off using the Blender 2.75 lightwave importer, it seems to do a better job.
Also, one thing I found out pretty quickly, Blender does not like the Lightwave bezier curves, so within LW, I use a plugin within LW to convert them to 2-pt polys and that works ok. I’ve pulled in a lot of my old Lightwave files this way.
