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.

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.
