- That's correct :-/... so we can't render frame 0 (I never do anyway), so
- use it just for keyframing. The PAR software aspects a decimal point character
- between the anim name and the frame number, so in your example you should
- use : dancer. <- dancer<decimal point> in the LW Image menu.
- Lightwave puts a number after that and your PAR cheerfully gives LW the frame.

- ^^^^^^ aha, and I thought I had the latest (2.28), so not! What about a
- putting it on Aminet in biz/patch, DPS? Or some PAR owner with DPS permission?
- I started with 1.89, got 2.07 and now 2.28, so I miss some releases sometimes..

- The number of digits is not important. The PAR software accepts even 1 digit
- or 10 digits (I tried)

-
- YES, I like it, especially because you can write your rendered frames to the
- PAR at the same time.
- I also made some MPEG's out of PAR anims this way for showing on PC's or Mac's.
