Fergus,
An LWS file references the LWO file and adds some additional things
(hierarchy, transforms, cameras, lights, etc.). The Sun Lightwave loader
does load an LWO file but (I believe) only after loading the LWS file that
references it. It should be relatively straightforward to create a
"generic" LWS file (they are ascii) which would use identity transforms,
lights, etc.
The other thing to keep in mind is that the loader is for an earlier
version of Lightwave--not the current one.
