You can use our LWO to OBJ conversion tool to quickly convert your 3D model (with optional texture files) for free. You may upload up to 20 files at one time, and our batch LWO to OBJ converter will process each 3D model and present you with a download link for each file once completed.
Or drag and drop your files here to upload.
A maximum of 20 files can be uploaded at once.
Our 3D model LWO to OBJ tool will load your LWO file and, where supported, attempt to extract all the relevant 3D features, such as geometry, textures, and animations. To access the 3D conversion configuration options, click the button when you have selected your files. The current options support the ability to voxelize your 3D model and more.
Here are two simple steps to convert your LWO to OBJ using our fast and free LWO converter tool.
First, click the "Upload..." button and select your LWO file to upload. Your LWO file will be uploaded to our servers. When the LWO to OBJ conversion has completed, you can download your OBJ file right away.
We aim to process all LWO to OBJ conversions as quickly as possible; this usually takes around 5 seconds; however, this can be longer for certain files, so please be patient.
We aim to provide the best conversion experience. Our tools are under constant review and development, with new features being added every week.

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.

The OBJ file format is a 3D graphics file format used to define complex 3D models, including geometry, materials, and textures. OBJ files are text files, making them human-readable and easy to modify by hand. The downside to this ease of readability is that the files can become rather large when dealing with large or complex 3D models.
As mentioned, the OBJ format stores not only 3D model geometry but also materials and textures. These materials are usually defined in a separate file with the MTL file extension and specify geometry rendering details such as diffuse and specular color, transparency, and much more.
The OBJ material file can also reference external texture files. These are usually JPEG or PNG files; however, these can be older formats, such as TGA. Where materials are used, the OBJ file will also contain material names preceding the geometry faces they should be applied to. If textures are referenced, the geometry will also contain texture coordinates (UV) for each vertex.
OBJ Converter Capabilities
Our 3D conversion tool does not support color or material information in OBJ files, so your file will not contain any color information.
Your LWO file will be converted to a OBJ file using our unified 3D model and mesh conversion tool. Our LWO 3D tool performs accurate conversions of 3D elements such as vertices, faces, normals, and relevant material information. Our tool will not attempt to transfer any color information if it is present in your LWO file; your final 3D model will contain only geometry data.
