| Extension | LWO |
| Full Name | LightWave Object File |
| Type | 3D Model |
| Mime Type | application/octet-stream |
| Format | Binary |
Created for the LightWave 3D modeling software, the LWO file format is designed to store complex 3D scenes in a fast and easy-to-process manner. The content stored includes 3D models, their associated materials and textures, and other data to represent the final 3D scene.
The 3D data is stored within the LWO file in binary form. The data consists of the 3D objects that make up the LightWave scene, including camera properties, 3D object geometry, including their vertices, faces, and texture coordinates where appropriate. The binary format ensures LWO files remain compact and size-efficient.
Support for importing LWO files can be found in some 3D editing applications; however, for best results, it is recommended to edit LWO files directly within the LightWave 3D software.
LWO Converter Capabilities
Our LWO 3D Model/Mesh tool does not support any color material data contained within LWO files, so the converted file will not contain any color information.
| Extension | BLEND |
| Full Name | Blender |
| Type | 3D Model |
| Mime Type | application/octet-stream |
| Format | Binary |
| Opens With | Blender |
The BLEND file extension is the native 3D modeling file format of the ever-popular Blender 3D modeling software. The Blender format originally came into existence in late 1994 and has since evolved into the advanced 3D format we have today.
The format stores complex 3D mesh data along with textures, animations, lighting, and other information related to 3D scene rendering. The format is popular among those creating 3D videogame graphics and animation sequences due to its advanced features and ease of use.
Along with Blender, BLEND files can also be imported into other popular 3D editing software. The open-source nature of the format allows third-party plugins and scripts to be created to run within the Blender editing environment and extend the format's capabilities.

Our 3D conversion tool does not support color or material information in BLEND files, so your file will not contain any color information.
