OD Tools

(docs are a work in progress - green are docs completed, red is still missing docs. Always check the vimeo channel, as for most tools that require one, there's a video on its usage.)

Installation

ODTools requires you to have Lightwave 3D installed. Additionally, during the install of Lightwave 3D, make sure that the Python Modules are checked as ODTools makes extensive use of those. If you have problems running ODTools, and you are unsure whether you initially installed the Python Modules when installing Lightwave, simply re-install Lightwave with the Python modules selected.

After that, you can simply extract the zip file into a folder, and add the plugin to Lightwave, add the menu branches (or create your own) and start using ODTools.

While LW2015 is supported for a variety of tools, a variety of tools, due to improvements in Lightwave 2018/2019 will only be available in those versions. Currently, we highly recommend to be using Lightwave 2019.

With the new edition of Lightwave 2020, we've been imformed that the tools still work fine with Lightwave 2020.
