|
Lightwave will scan the directory for all available plug-ins. Some files in the directory are not plug-ins, so you will get a few error messages that look like the one here. This is normal!Just clikc on the OK button each time (there should only be a few of these messages).
|
|
|

|
When the scan is finished, LightWave will tell you how many plug-ins it found, in how many plug-in files. You can close the Edit Plug-ins window afterwards.
|
|
|

|
Now you have the finished Modeler interface. This is the interface you see in class. It provides more of the available features and functionality available with LightWave than the old interface does.
