poz extender
 

does anyone have the free poz extender tool which was free for download or do you know where i can get a similar tool because the file download on flay.com (i think it was) doesnt work anymore and i really liked that tool

David Ikeda's tools are going to be integrated into Lightwave 8.

i tried those links but because his using them in lw8 he decided not to give them away for free now so the actual plugin doesnt work anymore, i just woindered if anyone still had the plugin that worked :(

Hmm - the links work for me - the bottom one should download the zipped file that makes up the Poz Extender Lscript. These are part of his Old Scripts which are no longer supported but you should still be able to download them.

oh yeh sorry the links do work but when u use the plugin with lightwave it says error because the script isnt supported anymore, so if anyone had the plugin before he changed it i just wanted to know if they could send me teh plugin :D

thanks to David Ikeda for making this plugin, you should email him to add the 7.5 one again for other users.

Definately a time saver! I'm not sure if David Ikeda would have wanted you to post it here on SLW.

well i went through what was in the zip file that was originaly downloaded..it was free..still is free..ill e mail him myself

but on his main page it says newtek own his tools now so i guess its not down to him anymore..what a drag.

but on the other hand lw is open source so isnt sharing part of that, so sharing it here is not a problem as it is now part of newtek / lw app??

sure dude

Err. I don't think you'll find that LW is open source. I think you'll find that Newtek actually own the copyright for Lightwave and have never actually let the source code out.

Just to get back on track here, there are a couple of alternatives to Poz Extender as well which you might want to look at if you can't get Poz Extender to work.

The Spread has Extender(i):

Whilst you're exploring The Spread, it might also be worth having a look at some of their other plug-ins. Symmetry Tools has a version of Extender that works in Symmetry mode.

Pictrix also have ExtenderS

All of these plug-ins are freeware. Hope that helps!
