RE: FLASH: Lightwave to Flash

[pete clark]

Nope.  I generally use 3D Studio Max for modeling and there is no

vector-output option or plug-in for that either. The best way I've found to

do 3D in Flash is to use Adobe Dimensions. You can do some very simplistic

modeling, animate it and export the frames as a series of EPS or Illustrator

files.  The frames still usually need to be cleaned up by hand in

Illustrator but the results are SO much better than Streamline. One other

thing, any gradients generated in Dimensions should be deleted and recreated

in Flash. It'll cut your file size way down.  Good Luck!
