This generates a job specifically for Lightwave.

To create a Lightwave job via commandline, you can use the following parameters for the -product switch (case is ignored):

Lightwave
LW

Lightwave requires a third parameter, the Config directory, which Smedge allows you to specify where you would normally specify additional command line parameters. This means you cannot use any other commandline parameters. This limitation is in the design of Smedge, and will be changed for Smedge 3.x's modular design.

You must specify the scene, content directory and config directory for every scene.
