Default Re: link to lightscape

You can export a Lightscape preparation file (.LP) from Max 9 and then import a Lightscape solution file (.LS) into Max 9 but unless you actually have a copy of Lightscape then thats not much use to you. You need lightscape to set up the materials and lighting and then initialise the preparation file and process the lighting to get a solution file. As already noted, Lightscape was rudely dumped by the inspired visionaries at Autodesk a number of years ago with the last update coming circa 2000. Unless you find someone kind enough to give you their old copy or heaven forbid do something illegal then you best bet will be to make the best of Max 9's integrated radiosity.
