Hi, I’ve recently upgraded from LW7.5 to LW8 and I can’t seem to be able to get my Swift3D V2 plugin working.

The plugin installs OK and I can go to the “Swift3D Render Options” panel and set that up OK but if I go to “Swift3D Render Scene” or “Swift3D Render Frame”, nothing happens.

Does anyone know what I’m doin wrong?

Has anyone managed to get Swift3D workin in LW8?

Thanks heaps!  
Pete

To me 8 is worth the upgrade. They snatched up a bunch of plugins like Ikedas power tools, magic shift…and integrated them. IK booster and integrated help files are cool.

Now onto the problem  
I do not believe the swift plugin works in v8. I could be wrong tho. I think you will have to wait for Erain to release a new version. But for better response to this contact erain support or post over in their forums. [www.erain.com](http://www.erain.com)
