I've been using Lightwave for years and love it. Is there any current or future planned compatability with Lightwave's modeling program?

You can use the FBX exporter. Both Modeler and Layout can export FBX (of course). Simply select FBX200611 as output format. But you MUST freeze SubD surfaces an triple odd-shaped polygons before exporting, or the polygons are messed up! All the material properties are simply ignored. UV maps are only exported (or recognized by MED) if they are assigned to at least one polygon. Layers are imported as groups. The importer can't handle shared textures! A new skin (+ texture) is created for every layer that uses the same texture...
