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.
GLTF and GLB 3D File Format
The GLTF (GL Transmission Format) and GLB file types are modern open standards developed by the Khronos Group for efficient storage, transmission, and rendering of 3D models. Designed for the web, gaming, VR/AR, and real-time applications, these formats enable compact, high-performance 3D asset workflows across platforms.
Key Features of GLTF and GLB Files
- GLTF Versions:
- GLTF 1.0: Supports basic geometry, textures, simple materials, and skeletal animations with joint hierarchies.
- GLTF 2.0: Adds advanced features like PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials, Draco compression, morph targets, skinning, and enhanced animation capabilities.
- ASCII vs Binary: GLTF files are human-readable (JSON format), while GLB files combine 3D data, textures, and materials into a compact, binary format for faster loading and easier distribution.
- Embedded Textures: Both GLTF and GLB can embed textures directly, creating self-contained 3D assets ideal for web and mobile applications.
Convert GLTF and GLB Files
With Autoconverter and Automesher Application, you can easily import, export, and convert GLTF and GLB files to formats like OBJ, FBX, STL, and more. Our software supports Draco compression, enabling significantly smaller file sizes while preserving the quality and performance of your 3D assets.
