Installation

General installation steps:

• Copy js_render_presets.py, js_render_presets_button.py and js_render_presets.def to LightWave's plug-in folder.
• "Autoscan Plugins" in LightWave 3D 11.0 doesn't seem to pickup Python scripts so you will have to tell LightWave manually of their existence.
• locate the "Add Plugins" button in LightWave and manually add the two .py files.

After the plugin is added to LightWave, I'd recommend placing it in a convenient spot in LightWave’s menu, so all you have to do is press the Render Presets button when you need to use it.

Usage

See http://www.artstorm.net/plugins/render-presets/ for usage instructions.
