| Full Name | LightWave Object File |
| Type | 3D Model |
| Mime Type | application/octet-stream |
| Format | Binary |
A LWO file, short for LightWave Object file, is a proprietary 3D model format primarily associated with NewTek's LightWave 3D software. It serves as a container for storing intricate 3D models, which can encompass objects, scenes, and animations. The LWO file format efficiently represents geometric data, surface textures, shading, and animation keyframes, making it ideal for complex 3D visualizations.
Within a LWO file, the geometric data is organized into polygons or vertices, describing the shape and structure of the 3D model. Additionally, the file stores surface attributes, such as textures, colors, transparency, and specularity, defining the appearance of the model's surfaces. The format also supports various surface mapping techniques like UV mapping, enabling precise placement of textures on the 3D object.
Furthermore, LWO files can encompass animation data, making them versatile for use in animated projects. Animation keyframes, skeletal rigging information, and morph targets can be included in the file, facilitating smooth and dynamic movements of the 3D model within the software. While LWO was initially designed for LightWave 3D, some other 3D software may also support importing or exporting LWO files, allowing for cross-platform compatibility and facilitating collaboration between different software applications in the 3D graphics workflow.
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 | X3D |
| Full Name | Extensible 3D Graphics |
| Type | 3D Model |
| Mime Type | model/x3d+xml |
| Format | Text |
| Opens With | Blender, MeshLab |
X3D (Extensible 3D) is an XML-based file format designed for representing and storing three-dimensional (3D) computer graphics and multimedia content. It is an evolution of the VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) format, offering enhanced capabilities and extensibility. X3D files allow the creation of complex 3D scenes, models, and interactive environments that can be rendered and displayed in various applications, including web browsers with X3D plugins or dedicated 3D visualization software.
The X3D file format supports a wide range of 3D geometries, textures, lighting, animations, and interactions. It uses XML syntax, which makes it human-readable and easily parsed by computers. The extensible nature of X3D allows developers to define custom nodes and add new features, making it adaptable to evolving 3D graphics technologies and application requirements. Additionally, X3D files can be compressed to reduce file size and support faster data transmission over networks, making them suitable for web-based 3D applications and virtual reality experiences.
One of the key advantages of X3D is its platform-independence and interoperability. X3D files can be used across different operating systems and devices without the need for platform-specific modifications. They enable content creators and developers to share 3D assets seamlessly and ensure consistent rendering across various platforms. As a result, X3D has become a popular choice for applications involving 3D visualization, virtual reality simulations, computer-aided design (CAD), educational content, and other multimedia experiences that require dynamic and interactive 3D content.
X3D Converter Capabilities
Our 3D conversion tool does not support color/material information in X3D files so your file will not contain any color information.
Your LWO file will be converted to a X3D 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 present in your LWO file, your final 3D model will contain geometry data only.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your LWO file to upload. Your LWO file will be uploaded to our servers. When the LWO to X3D conversion has completed, you can download your X3D file straight away.
We aim to process all LWO to X3D 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.
