lightwave file format
Author
Anyone have experience with the lwo file format? I can find and use the vetices data in the file but I can''t seem to find u and v co-ords for images/textures. Can anyone explain. I''m using LW 5.6

Thanks for the reply. I was looking at these docs a couple of days ago, and the best I seem to find here is:
Location and Size
TSIZ, TCTR, TFAL, TVEL { vector[VEC12] }
These sub-chunks each consist of a vector for the current texture''s size, center, falloff, or velocity. If missing, the center, falloff and velocity are assumed to be zero. The size should always be specified for any texture.
It seems like the center of the texture might be what I looking for, but I don''t know how this relates to u and v, which is what I''m familiar with. Any suggestions.
Do other 3D apps use the u and v or is the above standard fare?

So let me clarify, LW 6.0 and after stores u and v for each vertex whereas pre 6.0 uses some algorithm based on the center or velocity/falloff and size of a texture?
It seems like it might be difficult to calculate the u and v based on the available data in the .lwo
Does Milkshape store u and v per vertex?

heres my code for loading lightwave objects into my model structure
I spent 10 hours programming this, so I'll expect a check for 165$ in the mail in a couple days.
