If you have an *VERY* useful utility called 'Directory Opus' (that is being
given away in the British magazine 'Amiga Format' or 'CU Amiga' or something)
you can just move to your Lightwave partition, choose the directories until
you reach the desired one (like 'Toaster/3D/Objects') and then create a new
directory there ('Logos', 'Business', etc)
Now, when you go to Lightwave again, you should have access to the desired
drawers (you can do that 'multitaskingly', just press 'Left Amiga+M') and save
you object.
With DOpus, you can also move your existing objects to more adequate drawers.
Here's the procedure: Reach the desired directory in the left window; Click in
the right window and choose the destination directory; choose the objects to
copy/move from in the left window; press the copy/move button.
DOpus allows you to do a bunch of stuff, playing music, seeing pictures
seemlessly, creating drawers, formatting disks, copying, moving, deleting and
much more.
If you don't have this utility or some other of it's kind (there are some
similar utilites in shareware, like SID, and you can find them in some BBS or
site) you can use Workbench (a bit confusing to explain) or the Shell:
Here's the procedure: Open your 'System' partition, open the 'System' drawer,
double-click on 'Shell'.
Type 'cd partition:toaster/3d/objects'
(if you type 'list' you can see the contents of the directory as you do in
lightwave file-requester)
Type 'makedir business' (for example)
press 'left-amiga+M' and use the LW file-requester in the objects panel. You
can see the 'business' drawer there.
I'm sorry if I can't help you with the other stuff. I use Cinemorph but just
for fun, I was told that MorphPlus has much more professional results, but is
hard to learn.
I hope I was not too confusing :)
