To Install the IFW Texture Demo Plug-in:

Create a directory under your main lightwave or Inspire directory (example - c:\newtek or d:\inspire) called "ifw_textures" (example - c:\newtek\ifw_textures or d:\inspire\ifw_textures). This assumes that the directory has not already been created.

Unzip the ifw_demo.zip to this directory overwriting any exiting files.

Run Lightwave or Inspire in Layout and select Options. Then click on Add Plug-ins and browse to the directory where the plug-in was unzipped (example - c:\newtek\ifw_textures or d:\inspire\ifw_textures). Finally, select the ifw_demo.p.

To use the IFW textures plug-ins select Surfaces and click on the Advanced Options tab. Then under shader Plug-ins click on any of the drop down list labeled (none) and pick an IFW texture you wish to use
