You are MAKING materials for the internal rendering engine and OpenGL.

You are FAILING to IMPORT them into the LightWorks Materials by using the "Match Internal Engine" button.

Switch to the LightWorks Material Settings, press the button and then the materials will match.

PS: Because this question is so critical I have relaxed my rule about never helping people who put smileys in their postings. Just this once.

Dwight..approaching hesitantly... "You are FAILING to IMPORT them into the LightWorks Materials by using the "Match Internal Engine" button."

I just went into <options><element attributes><materials>....couldnt see "match internal engine" button.

You'll be doing this in the LightWorks Material Dialog.
One at a time.

Remember: No Smileys is Good Smileys.

You should also know that in a recent survey of Archicad users the artistic quality of their renderings declined in direct proportion to the number of smileys they used in their postings.

Smiley users tend to like large pink polka dots, black soffits and oversized wood grain.
