+ | |||
+ | exrTrader is actually a suite of plugins for LightWave 3D. Currently it consists of the following | ||
+ | |||
+ | * exrTrader – OpenEXR Layered Export | ||
+ | * OpenEXR Settings | ||
+ | * exrTraderLoader | ||
+ | * OpenEXR(.exr) | ||
+ | * OpenEXR Dummy(.exr) | ||
+ | * exrTrader... | ||
+ | * OpenEXR Settings... | ||
+ | * exrTrader Helper (Pixel Filter, only used by exrTrader Pro) | ||
+ | |||
+ | To be able to use the exrTrader Layered Export you will need to register and activate it with the activation code we will send you after your purchase of a license. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The basic loaders and savers are fully functional without registering. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The last two plugins are convenience tools you can assign to a shortcut, or add to a menu, to quickly apply the respective plugins to the current scene (if they aren't applied already) and open their user interface. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====== Registration ====== | ||
+ | Once you've installed the plugin, apply the exrTrader – OpenEXR Layered Export image filter plugin to your scene, and the registration window will automatically open. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Enter your full name, company name (if applicable) and e-mail address. Export the registration and attach it to an e-mail to [[registration@exrtrader.com]]. We will mail you an activation code within 24 hours after payment is received, depending on the time difference (( Our key generator needs some sleep every now and then ;-) )). | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can now either import the keyfile attached to the activation e-mail, or copy and paste the activation key into the registration panel (please make sure that the personal information is identical to the one submitted to us for the registration). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Your registration is now complete and you will see the interface of exrTrader, allowing you to use it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The registration file is stored in the same folder where LightWave 3D is installed (( Please back up your license file if you install a new version of LightWave into the same directory, especially on MacOS. )), the license file is named exrTrader.key. If you use multiple licenses of LightWave 3D from a single network share, the registration manager will only append/edit licenses locked to the dongle installed on the host machine. It will however manage multiple licenses allowing for a single registration file on your network share. | ||
