Below are a number of links to sites with information on using LightWave for game design:
Border equals 0 A great tutorial on doing UV mapping in LightWave for games (example is for Serious Sam but can be applied to any game)
Gnometech Torque Engine LightWave DTS exporter
KrAy-ZeE's Modeling Guide An older guide to low-poly modeling, but it's what I personally learned with, so it definitely is worth mentioning.
LightWave3D.com Tutorials There are some game related tutorials up at the official tutorial site.
LightWave Plugins Marvin Landis' site with a number of LightWave plug-ins. Of special note to game object creators are the qemLOSS3 and NormalMaps plug-ins.
Michael Bristol Unreal, Quake 2 & 3 exporters and importers
Serious Sam SKA Tools Plug-in for exporting to the Serious Sam skeletal animation format. Includes full source code for the exporter, so is defiantly a useful example in obtaining game-type information from LightWave.
Tony's 3D Bovine Cappuccino and Relish Depot Some great general LightWave tutorials. You'll especially want to check out the "Janet the Surf Punk" tutorial on creating characters for games.
