LightWave 3D LWO File Format
The LWO file format is the native 3D model format used by LightWave 3D, a powerful software suite for 3D modeling, animation, and rendering. Ideal for film, VFX, and game development, LWO files store advanced mesh data, materials, and layered scene elements with high precision.
Key Features of LWO Files
- Advanced Geometry: Supports polygons, quads, n-gons, subdivision surfaces, and metaball objects.
- UV Mapping: Stores multiple UV sets for texture mapping and material assignment.
- Backwards Compatibility: Compatible with earlier LightWave versions, ensuring long-term accessibility.
- Industry-Ready: Widely used in professional environments for broadcast graphics, video games, and CGI film production.
LWO File Conversion Tools
Autoconverter and Automesher Application offer full support for importing and converting LWO 3D model files into popular formats such as OBJ, STL, PLY, SKP, and CityJSON. These tools retain original geometry, material layers, and texture coordinates, ensuring accurate migration to modern CAD or 3D workflows. Whether you are archiving legacy LightWave projects or integrating with Blender or Unity, our LWO file converters deliver fast, reliable results.
AutoCAD DWG File Format - Convert DWG Drawings
AutoCAD, developed by Autodesk, is an industry-leading CAD software known for its precision, versatility, and native support for the DWG file format.
