hi
i am very very new i am trying to learn lightwave and b3d at the same time.
i am using lwconverter by lee page to convert the mesh, my problem is i cant get the texture to show if i use createcylinder and map that i have no probs...what am i doing wrong does my problem lie with the way i am creating the mesh in lightwave , does anyone know where i can get some example code or more info on how to prep the mesh for conversion in lwconvert...thanks

And remember that you need to have UV-mapped model, meaning that LWs "planar mapping" etc methods won't work. And you have to triangulate your models before attempting to convert them.
