Mohaps,

If you mean for Torque, there already is a fairly mature exporter: SeeLightwave Dave's Exporter announcement for more details.

Otherwise, I would go to newtek's website.

Good luck!

Thanks eric,

I did find the DTS exporter... It is a good start... I just want to write an exporter for Lightwave to my own model and map format for an engine that I am developing.

Newtek site is utterly devoid of documentation on how to write exporters except just one mention in the docs iwth the SDK...

there are no sample exporters with the SDK.. a la 3DS MAX ASE exporter

Actually there is a very complete example of exporter functionality included with the SDK you have have not looked hard enough. It is some code that walks the entire scene and dumps it out. It is there just look for it.
