LWO 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.


DXF DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) File

The DXF file format (Drawing Exchange Format), developed by Autodesk in 1982, is a universal standard for sharing CAD data across platforms. Designed as a vendor-neutral alternative to DWG, DXF files preserve essential design elements - such as 2D/3D geometry, layers, text annotations, and metadata - ensuring seamless collaboration between AutoCAD and a wide range of CAD, CAM, and GIS applications.

Key Features of DXF Files

  • Open Standard: Originally created to allow open access to CAD data, the DXF format is available in both ASCII and binary versions for easy interoperability and editing.
  • Cross-Platform Compatibility: DXF is widely supported by major CAD programs like AutoCAD, SolidWorks, BricsCAD, and more, facilitating efficient project sharing and workflow integration.
  • Text-Based Format: The ASCII DXF format uses a readable text syntax, making it simple to view, edit, and debug using standard text editors.
  • DWG Exchange: DXF acts as a critical bridge for exchanging DWG drawing data without requiring proprietary software, ensuring broader accessibility and collaboration across different design platforms.

Convert DXF Files Quickly and Easily

Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application make it easy to import, export, and convert DXF files into a variety of other CAD and 3D file formats. Convert 3D mesh models into DXF files composed of colored face layers, allowing you to efficiently process and edit designs within your preferred DWG-compatible editor.
