Subject: Creating LW Project Directory With DOpus

Here's a helpful hint for those of you using Directory Opus on the Amiga.
This idea was spawned by Nir Hermoni in his article in January's
LightwavePRO. Like Nir, I too prefer storing each Lightwave project in
its own seperate sub-directory in the Scenes directory. This method
facilitates tidiness and efficiency if transporting said project to
another computer or service bureau. Within the new project directory
then, several sub-directories relevant to LW's protocol need to be
created. You could use ARexx like Nir did, or you could click on a button
in DOpus which is a little faster. Nuff said, here's how.
In DOpus, create a Button called "MakeLWProject" and enter the following
in the Internal Commands field:
Command OtherWindow
Command ScanDir Toaster:3D/Scenes <--Make sure Toaster: is assigned.
Command SetVar Project {RsEnter Project Name}
Command Makedir "{vProject}"
Command ScanDir "{vProject}"
Command Makedir Objects
Command Makedir Images
Command Makedir Motions
Command Makedir Envelopes
Command Makedir Temps
Make sure to check the "CD Source" flag. This implementation assumes you
have DOpus v4.12 or greater in order to use the new SetVar command and
{v} variable.
Any questions, talk to me babe. Enjoy fellow Amigoids!
Ciao!

P.S.- Sorry, I have nothing to say about which is the fastest rendering
platform. ;-)
