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.

IFC Industrial Foundation Classes (IFC) File Format

The IFC file format is an open, ISO-certified standard (ISO 16739) designed for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. As a vendor-neutral format, IFC facilitates seamless data exchange and interoperability between different software applications, eliminating proprietary barriers in collaborative building projects.

Key Capabilities of the IFC Format

The IFC format can store a comprehensive range of project data for AEC workflows, including:

• Detailed Geometry: The IFC format captures 3D representations through various entity types, such as solids, surfaces, curves, and point clouds, to accurately depict structures.
• Measurement Units: IFC supports diverse measurement systems (meters, inches, degrees, etc.), ensuring precise and consistent data interpretation across different software.
• Materials and Visual Properties: Control visual properties such as color and transparency using RGBA values for accurate representation of materials in the model.
• Optimized Storage: IFC's mapping system allows identical geometries to be referenced multiple times, improving storage efficiency and performance.
• Hierarchical Structure: Organize complex projects with named components and unique identifiers, making it easier to manage large-scale construction designs.
• Building Information Modeling (BIM): As a BIM-native format, IFC integrates building information such as properties, constraints, and relationships alongside geometry for comprehensive project data.

IFC File Conversion: BIM Interoperability Made Simple

Convert between IFC formats (including IFC2x3, IFC4 and IFC4.3) while preserving BIM properties and geometry data using Autoconverter or Automesher Application. Our tools maintain maximum compatibility when exporting to DWG, SKP, STL and OBJ formats, though some IFC-specific metadata may require manual mapping for optimal results in non-IFC conversions.

Easily import, export, and convert IFC files to various 3D formats with full support for custom properties. Try it now and optimize your AEC workflows!
