LWO to IGES
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to the LWO and IGES interoperability and exchange that can help you with the LWO to IGES conversion.
- Convert 3D mesh files in the batch mode
- Automesher desktop application for Windows to convert 3D file formats
- Export IGES from Sketchup drawing
- Change 3D model units in STEP / IGES files
LWO File
LWO (LightWave 3D Object) file is the native file format for LightWave 3D modeling, animation and rendering computer software. Using our Autoconverter and Automesher Application specialised LWO conversion software you can import 3D mesh geometry together with the assigned material information including the material texture images and convert any LWO object model into your favorite file format for further edition. The LWO is a binary file format therefore the LWO file size will always be smaller compared with the ASCII text file formats.
IGES File
IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) is the initial file format for the data exchange between different systems e.g. CAD, CAM or CAE. As the geometry data are stored in a text file format, you will get bigger file sizes when exporting triangular meshes with thousands of faces using Autoconverter software. The IGES file format supports color per assembly, but without the alpha component, therefore any transparency setting will be lost in the IGES file.
