Tutorial #2: Setting up Lightwave MD3 Export Plug-in - 20 Min. Video
Description:


The second tutorial picks up where the first one leaves off. The first part will be about setting up the Displacement Modifiers. At the end of the tutorial you will have a character that can be loaded into Quake. This tutorial only covers how to setup the Export plug-in for animation and does not cover how to animate the character itself.

* I recommend this tutorial for individuals that have already set up the Head, Upper, and Lower parts of their mesh including the Tags.
If you are not sure what I am referring to watch Tutorial #1.
