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.
Universal 3D Model Exchange - U3D File Format
The Universal 3D (U3D) format is an open, royalty-free 3D file standard designed for efficient sharing of 3D models across different platforms and applications. Originally developed by the 3D Industry Forum and now standardized by ECMA International (ECMA-363), U3D files offer compressed storage of 3D triangular meshes, along with attributes like color, transparency, and texture mapping. U3D is widely known for enabling interactive 3D graphics directly within PDF documents.
Main Features of U3D Files
- Open and Royalty-Free: Maintained as an international standard, ensuring no licensing fees for developers and users.
- 3D PDF Support: Integrates seamlessly with PDF files (ISO 32000 standard), allowing users to embed, view, and interact with 3D models inside Adobe Acrobat Reader and other compatible viewers.
- Efficient Compression: Stores 3D geometry and properties in a compact, binary format optimized for fast transmission and document embedding.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Enables 3D model viewing across Windows, macOS, and Linux without requiring proprietary software.
