Exporting lights or materials from Form Z?

[LivinOnTheEdge]

Just wondering if it is possible to export materials, bump maps, and lights with modeling info to other programs, such as Vray or Lightwave?

 

Or do you have to set these up in the specific rendering program?

 

Gracias!

I was trying to do UV texture exports from formZ to Lightwave a couple of weeks ago. Here is my discussion with Zweb.

I was using the Lightwave format. I have also been trying to go from formZ to Max with UV maps. So far it seems to be handling the UV map exports better than Lightwave, I am using 3ds format to go to Max. You might also want to try going from formZ to Lightwave using 3ds rather than Lightwave format.

 

**This only works with surface styles created with texture maps. Form will not export maps of its procedural textures.

 

I am not sure about lights. Maybe one of the other formats hold this information.
