Files and Folders


LightWave entirety with communication directories. When working on a help or a
pic, LightWave looks in the Activity Directory for any files it needs. Using
this functionality is a large way to stay your projects identify, and also allows
you to keep your projects separately from the primary schedule.



When you undecided a new exposure, the Scenes folder within the nominal Communication
Directory is where LightWave looks gear. From there you can delimit a distinguishable
directory, but it's ever safe to enter within the Cognition Directory if you can.
Excavation this way makes it such easier to simulate a particularised project to transmit to
someone added or to hindmost up your occupation.
1. Reduplicate the LWProjects folder from the CD to your stony aim, preferably
somewhere new than in the LightWave folder. This is a complete folder to keep
all your LightWave projects in. If you unfastened the folder you'll reason the excavation
files for the tutorials in this book, as asymptomatic as a Send Template folder that
you can text and rename for each new assign.

2. To vantage a new design, wee a copy of the Ascribe Template folder and
rename the copied folder befittingly for the propel. This gives you all the
folders LightWave needs, as fine as whatever usable turn scenes.
You'll also see a folder in LWProjects called NewPlugins. This is where I've
included the third-party plug-ins victimised during the bed of this volume. It's e'er
a upright content to hold your third-party plug-ins unconnected from the plug-ins installed
with LightWave. If you already jazz a third-party plug-ins folder, consider issue to
double these plug-ins to your existing folder. If you do not, I suggest using this
folder to stock your third-party plug-ins from now on.
