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.

SKP SketchUp 3D Model - SKP File Format

The SKP file format is the native 3D model format for SketchUp, originally developed by Google and now maintained by Trimble. Known for its simplicity and powerful modeling capabilities, SKP files are widely used in architecture, interior design, engineering, and product design for creating detailed 3D models quickly and efficiently.

Key Features and Advantages of SKP Files

  • Comprehensive 3D Data: SKP files store reusable components, grouped meshes, layers, scenes, and textured materials, enabling streamlined modeling workflows and faster project development across architectural and engineering disciplines.
  • Version-Specific Requirements: SketchUp files vary by version. For instance, SKP files from version 2016 and newer require a Win64 build for compatibility, while older files can be opened with Win32 builds. Understanding SKP version differences is crucial for smooth file sharing and project collaboration.
  • Scalability and Performance: Whether modeling small furniture pieces or large urban environments, SKP files scale efficiently. SketchUp optimizations ensure that even large, highly detailed scenes maintain fast, responsive performance.
