Lightwave avatar question

[electric jello]

I am new to Vizard so please bare with my novice questions. I looked through the forum discussion but did not immediately see any answers to my questions.

I work extensively with Lightwave to generate 3D content and would like to model,rig, and animate my avatars first for export to Vizard for placement in an interactive environment.

Has anyone on this forum done this successfully and if so, would you mind giving me tips on translating the data across? I am especially curious about exporting animated motion data from my Lightwave rigged skeleton either into Vizard or as a pre-animated character or apply the joint keyframes to a Vizard skeleton.

On this same note, is it possible to export the Vizard character bones to Lightwave so I could reference my model to them, and then bind/parent the Lightwave geometry to the Vizard skeleton/bones within Vizard?

Any guidance into this process would be appreciated.
