    I'll get some lw 3d objects source file to start. I think I saw around a page describing exactly how the .lwo is organized. I hope my bookmarks are well organised...

    precendent conversion was formed as lw-plugin:
    and user could save file in both lwo- and ini-formats from lw-gui.
    however, it's up to you. lw-export or lwo-analyse - any worth.

    Well I think I can forget my Jane's he-111 and let ebola go on :)

    great job!

    PS.: ebola, do you want that Jane's model to analize it?

    well... |File|->|summary info| easier for poly count ;)

    as for max faces its usually easy to rpedict on regular faces:
    number_of_polys= (number_of_vertices - 2)
    its number of polygons on single face of course
    on self made faces its not that simple and polygon count may be bigger
    thats why when u low poly model sth in max u should start from regular faces (squares, ngons etc) from base max objects (if modeling from geometry and shape objects)
    cant tell why discreet decided to introduce their own 'face'.. probably to make it easier to edit;
    difference may be significant:

    I couldnt find my pictures (cockpit) in my CD's or HD here where I'm living. I sent an e-mail to my father check at home if they are there... but any way, I dont remember to who I sent those BMP's (wbfh development group). If anyone have them, can please post the main view at forum?
