LWO to U3D
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to LWO and U3D interoperability and exchange that could help you with the LWO to U3D conversion.
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.
U3D File
U3D (Universal 3D) is an open source compressed file format initiated by the 3D Industry Forum to store three dimensional triangular meshes with the additional properties e.g. color, transparency or texture coordinates for the general 3D graphics industry. The U3D file format is mostly used in combination with the 3D PDF technology which allows you to generate PDF documents containing interactive 3D data from the U3D files. Autoconverter and Automesher Application, our U3D file converters can read and write to and from U3D file format thanks to the publicly available open source IFX converter library provided by the Intel company. To simplify generation of 3D PDF documents our converters create a common TEX script which can be easily used to generate a PDF document with the standard and free LaTeX software.
