Here is another great Lightwave artist who makes some great plug-ins. I don't know if they are compatible with LW10 but give it a try.

http://www.pictrix.jp

His Bezier Plug-in is awesome. If you have LWCAD it's similar to the pipe creation tool.

Just wanted to share some of these LScripts made by Timothy Albee. Doing a lot of character animation at work and these have saved me on numerous occasions. Currently we are developing mobile apps (iPhone, iPad, Android and windows Phone) and desktop applications for Department of Defense (US).

We use Lightwave as the main pipeline for character animation, hard surface modeling and rendering for cinematics.

Oh yeah, here is the link. http://loupguru.com/store/index.php?...ndex&cPath=1_5

These scripts are great for Character Animation in Lightwave. Yes, it can be done!
