LWO 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.

GLB 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.
