At the request of Mike Ballard, a guide to exporting from Lightwave 9.6 to Vue has been written. This process involves UV mapping and good methods of exporting objects plus a number of problems that may arise during the process and some solutions that I have come accross.
This is NOT a definitive guide how to UV map, but maybe some of the ideas and methods I demonstrate will help.
I will be using a model created by Mike Ballard of a rather nice glass house.

This is the first of the reference guides to the Clouds of Vue 7. This edition deals with the Cumulus clouds in the standard model, although they are not all designed for this model and do not necessarily look so good, I aim to demonstrate that these clouds can be used in different ways. This is aimed as a quick overview of what the clouds look like to reduce time spent rendering.
This section will only focus on the Cumulus Clouds in order to keep the length of the page down.

Part 5 of the guide relates to the sky tab in the atmosphere editor. All the renders on this page are at 800×600 and are rendered at Broadcast Quality.
The sky tab is a page that is only available in the Standard Model of Atmospheres. The default atmosphere is used and set to the Standard model, the result is as follows:

Rather a quick problem solution today which was nice.
A chap from the newtek forums named Kuzey suggested that I tried to cut the front of the house away (and other affected areas) and paste it back into the mesh in lightwave without re-merging the points would stop the error, which was more than likely a smoothing error.
The model was exported as OBJ and now works correctly with Vue.
Thanks very much to kuzey!
Anyone who wants the model of the house can take it free, it is also going to be up on renderosity freestuff later this evening.
It would be nice if anyone was to use it if they would post a link to their image in the comments section.

Finished the drivetrain, added another boiler to the top of the tank, more pipes and more details to the tank.

Still to do the wheels today, perhaps tweak the drivetrain slightly, the final boiler, whistle assembly and some valve areas toward the back.

Worked on the runners for the rest of the day, part of this involved first tyring to learn how they work and then model them accordingly

Still needs lots more work on the shape and adding all the small details, but for now i’m happy to have the main shapes present and in the right places.
The wheels are only roughouts at present, better more detailed ones will be done later.

The front view of the kingston flyer is now finished (apart from the texturing) Added the piston type jobs to the side of the train, made the tank front spherical rather than conical as suggested by piz99 of Renderosity forum and added the plate on the front of the cow pusher (the grill at the front)

Also started working on the wheels, lots of pipes and metalwork around them still to come..

More later.
