This will be a general guide for using LightWave 3D to create or edit models and animations for LEGO Rock Raiders and whatever other works use the format. This will cover details for both versions 5 (used for Rock Raiders) and 8 (because it's the one I have); I don't know what newer versions are like or if there are any other programs that can convert to LightWave version 5 models and animations. I'll probably divide the guide into separate model and animation pages, though with models you can probably make ones in other programs and then convert to LWO 5, so only applying textures and effects properly would be needed there. With animation it's more complicated and specific to how LightWave works. Considering I don't know how accessible older LightWave versions are and LightWave seems less popular these days I'm not sure how to handle that. I'll probably also make normal articles for the file formats.

LWO files

Modeling

Textures

See Guide:Sequenced textures in LEGO Rock Raiders for specifics on that
