I must be doing something wrong then. I watched many tutorials I didn't see any that detail the lightwave workflow. The one that was mentioned earlier in the thread used the PTEX meathod. I always used the per pixle workflow. Is the PTEX better? I wouldn't think so, at least not for what I'm doing. Also I imported a Sub patch object, in the video it looked like regular polys. I never had any problems with other sub patch objects, could it be different since version 4 came out?

Well it seems I can get it to work if I uncheck sharpen mesh and export mid-poly mesh but it adds a lot of weight to the poly counts. it's a difference between 8498 and 543552 polys

This is what I do to export

@ carlosan : looked at those links, I saw them before, I don't think this is a texturing issue. the only changes I made to the lwo after exporting it from 3DC is to change the UV interpolation to Subpatch from liniar (linear was worse)

I would if I could. I'm bound by a NDA. I can upload something else that shows the same problem. the first image is from 3DC, looks good (well enought to show the issue) the second is from lightwave 2015.3 (every thing is stretched)

no, but then again I never have before. Tried that, did not help, in fact looks worse.

Hello, I've been using 3D coat for a while now, although still feel like a noob. I painted a spaceship in 3DC and everything looked good in the interface; so I exported it using the metalness workflow to lwo. In Lightwave, I get some noticeable stretching of the texture. I thought it might be the UV interpolation. But that is not it. Any idea what might be causing this and how to fix this. I'd post pics but I'm under a NDA. Any help would be most appreciated.

I don't know if it's just me. But when I try to work on the underside of my model, It is very difficult to see anything. since the light always comes from above, no matter how I rotate either the model or the light, the bottom is always in shaddow. Maybe they could add a check box to invert the light position to below.
