Richard,
For those who use 3DC inconjunction with Pinnaclesys’s NLE software and HFX effects software the following is very desired: andnbsp;
We need the ability to create models, map pinnacle’s provided targa textures to the surfaces of our models, and export them in Lightwave 5.x format so that the applied targa textures are correctly converted through Pinnacle’s HFX importer tool and result in a model with mapped video on some or all of its surface. andnbsp; I don’t fully understand the difference between Lightwave objects with the internal format of LWO vs. LWO2, but apparently the former is compliant with HFX.
A heavy discussion on this is found on the pinnaclesys.com web board for Studio 8. andnbsp;Specifically under the HollywoodFX threads. andnbsp;The topic is titled andquot;Mapping Targa textures to LWO 5.x for HFX 4.6andquot;.
While I know this may seem like a narrow enhancement with limited mass appeal, I would argue that this thread has one of largest read counts on the pinnacle boards and interest in a solution is high – 509 users have read the post. andnbsp;I think there is a big opportunity for 3DC to tap the Pinnacle home video enthusiasts market by providing this capability.
Regards,
Ken andnbsp;
