Main Page

This Wiki is being created as assistance for developing Python plug-ins in LightWave® 3D. Special thanks to Jennifer Hachigian for her help!

LWPy is simply short for LightWave® Python. This is just to distinguish it from Python programs not specifically written for LightWave®.

What this Wiki is NOT
This Wiki is not an introduction to Python or how to program with Python. There are plenteous resources available that can help you learn Python. I don't think I can really add to that.

Tutorials
To start from the very beginning, go here with the Getting Started page.

Also check out the introductory videos on YouTube:

A special nod to Ernie Wright for writing the original LightWave® C/C++ SDK.
