is there a way to use LightWorks .lwa Archives with
TrueSpace 7.6.1 or 6.6?

If it is possable it would be GREAT. Their site offers
light libraries,material libraries and a lot more...

Thank You

This in an excerpt from an article I found
on tmcnews.. I would seem to indicate
that TrueSpace 7 is able to use .lwa Files..

About LightWorks 7.4

LightWorks, from LightWork Design, has been the basic workhorse for photorealistic output in trueSpace for many years. The version 7.4 release of LightWorks includes support for HDRI rendering and trueSpace7 users will have a new range of materials available, including fully editable shader trees. Shader trees provide a much more powerful approach to creating rich materials than the simple layered process provided in earlier versions of trueSpace.

"LightWorks has been integrated as the core rendering engine within trueSpace for many years now. Over this time, LightWorks has become recognized as an industry standard for high quality, photorealistic rendering solutions, providing more than 1 million LightWorks users with powerful rendering functionality and access to a growing range of real-world LWA materials. The integration of LightWorks 7.4 as the standard renderer within trueSpace 7 will provide users with even more essential rendering features, ensuring that they will continue to create stunning photorealistic imagery in the future." Woll Newall, Founder and Product Manager, LightWork Design.

The ligthwork integrated in TS was a special feature under license. Without update of the model side (and there will be no update) i think it is not possible to use new version of lightwork with TS.

The Model Side was updated.. Hence the HDRI lighting..

I don't know the answer but the obvious path is "try it" and see if it works.

i was looking at it some years ago and I havent found any way to load it.

offtopic:
But if there will be any tS8 I will be curious if they will use new Lightworks 8.2

It looks interesting, shame that lw didnt developed it earlier with all these features (GI etc.)
