LWO to 3DM Conversion
With our tools, changing LWO to 3DM is a breeze - follow these simple 3 steps:
Install Autoconverter
Download and install Autoconverter on your system. Launch the software to convert LWO files to 3DM format.
Import LWO File
Click Open... to load your LWO (.lwo, .lxo) file, or drag and drop it into the application window.
Export to 3DM Format
Use Save As... to export your file to the 3DM file format (.3dm).
Still frustrated with LWO to 3DM conversion? These step-by-step guides simplify LWO files conversion:
- Batch Convert 3D Mesh Files with Autoconverter (STEP, STL, OBJ & More)
- Reconstruct Surface from SKP Mesh File - SketchUp to NURBS
- Convert Mesh to NURBS for Rhino 3D (3DM) with Autoshaper
- Automesher Desktop Application for Windows to Convert 3D File Formats
LightWave 3D File
The native format for LightWave 3D, a professional-grade software for modeling, animation, and rendering. Designed for high-end 3D content creation, it supports everything from game assets to cinematic visual effects with precision and flexibility.
Key Features of LWO
- Geometry: Supports polygons (quads/n-gons), subdivision surfaces, and metaballs.
- UV Mapping: Stores multiple UV channel coordinates.
- Compatibility: Backward-compatible across LightWave versions.
- Industry Use: Trusted for broadcast, film VFX, and game development.
LWO File Conversion
Autoconverter and Automesher Application enable seamless conversion of LWO files, preserving geometry, materials, and layer data from LightWave 3D. Using our unique LWO converters you can easily transform 3D mesh models into PLY, STL, OBJ, SKP, CityJSON, or other formats for use in any 3D/CAD software. Need to bridge LightWave with modern workflows? Our tools ensure accurate, production-ready conversions.
Rhinoceros 3D (3DM) File Format
The 3DM file format is the native format for Rhinoceros 3D (Rhino), a leading NURBS-based 3D modeling software used across industries like architecture, engineering, and industrial design. 3DM files accurately store mathematical representations of curves, surfaces, solids, and meshes, making them essential for precision 3D modeling and CAD workflows.
Key Features of 3DM Files
- NURBS Geometry: Supports precise, smooth surfaces critical for advanced design and engineering projects.
- Polygonal Meshes: Stores tessellated 3D models ideal for rendering, simulation, and 3D printing workflows.
- SubD Surfaces: Allows flexible, editable subdivision modeling for organic shapes and complex surfaces.
- Instance References: Saves memory by creating linked object instances, optimizing large and detailed models.
Convert 3DM Files Seamlessly
Autoconverter and Autoshaper simplify 3DM file conversion to popular formats like STEP, IGES, OBJ, STL, and DWG. Automate the export of 3DM polygon meshes for 3D printing, or preserve NURBS data for engineering-grade CAD models. Save files in legacy (Rhino 2.X - 7.X) or latest Rhino 8.X formats to ensure compatibility across all project environments.
