About 5 months ago when I tried this I gave up after a day as I couldn't run
the lwsn binary from the shell. It appears to only be able to run as a GUI
app as Luke said, so I'm 99% sure you can't render OSX lightwave from
renders from rush. It's a huge oversight in my eyes, although I'm sure
Newtek have a good enough reason to force you into using their far inferior
render utility.
Jance if you find anything diference please let us know ;)

| Sounds like the 'lwsn' executable is not in the path.
|
| If you know the path to the lwsn executable, eg.
|"/Applications/Lightwave/bin/lwsn",

|'OSX' section at the top of the script:
|
|elsif ( $G::ismac )
|{
| # OSX
| $ENV{PATH} = "/Applications/Lightwave/bin:$ENV{PATH}";
|}
|
| ..so that it can find the path to the executable.
|
| This is, of course, assuming that Lightwave for MacOSX has a
| command line tool for rendering; I've never tested this.
|
| Try testing the 'lwsn' from the command line first.
| If you're unable to get 'lwsn' to work from the command line,
| check [NewTek's] docs regarding lwsn setup, or with [NewTek's]
| tech support regarding how to get lwsn to work from the
|OSX unix shell.
