topic Re: Help with lightworks and .3ds files in Modeling https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Help-with-lightworks-and-3ds-files/m-p/57788#M29329 This is probably because the materials have separate definitions for LightWorks and the internal engine. This is to accommodate the different capabilities of the two but can be a pain in the neck as you have found. The (relatively) quick fix is to click on the "Match with Internal Engine" button in the LightWorks settings of the material settings dialog for each of the materials you are using.<BR /> <BR /> There may be some more quirks having to do with the 3DS parts. Apologies in advance if this doesn't do the trick.

I dont have the same problem with internal engine. I will be most grateful if you help me to solve this problem.<BR /> <BR /> Regards,<BR /> Marcella.</T></DIV> Mon, 10 Apr 2006 11:23:05 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Help-with-lightworks-and-3ds-files/m-p/57787#M29328 Anonymous 2006-04-10T11:23:05Z Re: Help with lightworks and .3ds files https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Help-with-lightworks-and-3ds-files/m-p/57788#M29329 This is probably because the materials have separate definitions for LightWorks and the internal engine.
