Anime Studio/Moho to Lightwave Importer
This is my Anime Studio/Moho .anme/.moho file importer for LightWave. It tries to import a lot of the settings, there are some I haven't gotten around to supporting as yet, and some which have no analogue in LightWave. If you'd like to see a feature included email me at my address on the contact page, the more requests I get, the more likely it is to get done. This is very much a work in progress, so don't sue me if it all goes wrong!

It contains 4 files.

• mg_motionbaker.lua - This is an AS plugin script, and can be run on the AS scene before saving it (as a separate name). It will bake animated motions and actions to the timeline (as the keyframe interpolation may be different from AS to LW, and Actions aren't read by the importer). It should be placed in your AnimeStudio\scripts\menu\yourchoice folder, depending where you want it to appear in your menu.
• MGMohoMeshImporterMD.ls - This LW modeler plugin should be run next, it converts shape layers and image layers to a layered LightWave mesh.
• MGMohoImporterGN.ls - This is a Layout generic command plugin which converts the scene into nulls/bones etc and inserts the mesh generated above into the correct places in the hierarchy.
• MGMohoEnvManagerIA.ls - This is a motion plugin which uses some of the file settings to scale the layer it's attached to.

Here is a list of things supported in the importer so far.

Anime Studio Feature	Lightwave Support as:
Render Image name	Render image name (optional)
Render Anim name	Render Anim name (optional)
Render resolution	Camera Resolution (optional)
Render Range	Render range (optional)
FPS	FPS
Background colour	Background Colour
Camera Motion	Camera Motion
Camera Zoom	My visual approximation of camera zoom.
Layers	Each layer is either a null object or a layer from the mesh. Layers are parented and animated like the AS Layers.
Names	Either the null name, or the mesh name
Origin	Either the null or mesh pivot.
Parent Bone	The null/mesh is parented to the correct bone
Visible	Scales the null/mesh to < 0,0,0> to hide the layer
Render only	Hides the null or mesh in scene.
Editor only	Turns on 'Unseen by camera'
Scale Compensation	Not supported
Rotate to follow path	Not supported
Scale Compensation	Not supported
Face Camera	Layer always faces the camera
Masking Mode	Not supported
Blend Mode	Not supported
Camera Immune	Not supported
DOF Immune	Not supported
Transforms	Null/mesh translation/rotation/scale
Flipping	Creates envelopes which are read by a motion plugin and used to scale the layers in the x/y
Opacity	Null/mesh dissolve envelope
Layer Types
Shape	Mesh. Makes the curves into LW curves with smooth or sharp corners only, no semi-smooth corners as LW does not support them.
Image	A subdivided plane set as a Sub-d object with the image applied
Group	A null object
Bone Layers	A null with LightWave bones
Switch Layers	Scales child layers to < 0,0,0> to hide layers, also with LightWave bones if they exist in this layer. switch morphs are not yet supported.
Particles	A null, otherwise unsupported
Note	A null, otherwise unsupported
Mesh3d	A null, otherwise unsupported
Mesh Support
Points	Converted to vertices
Curves	A curve is converted to a series of LW curves, broken where the curve sharpness is above a certain threshold
Groups	Vertex selection sets
Shape Support
Shape	The LW curves can be frozen to make a mesh. This can be optionally tripled Importer tries to assign the correct surface to the right curves, but due to the way AS handles this, this may not alway be possible
Style/Shape attributes	Converted to LW Surfaces
Colour	Colour (animated colour not supported yet)
Alpha	Transparency (animated transparency not supported yet)
