Free Online LWO to SKP Converter

You can use our LWO to SKP 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 SKP converter will process each 3D model and present you with a download link for each file once completed.

Select File(s)

Or drag and drop your files here to upload.
A maximum of 20 files can be uploaded at once.

Please note: Your LWO file, once uploaded to our server, will be deleted 15 minutes after upload, so please download your converted LWO file before this time.

Our 3D model LWO to SKP 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my LWO file to SKP?

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 SKP conversion has completed, you can download your SKP file right away.

How long does it take to convert my LWO to SKP?

We aim to process all LWO to SKP conversions as quickly as possible; this usually takes around 5 seconds; however, this can be longer for certain files, so please be patient.

How accurate is the LWO to SKP conversion?

We aim to provide the best conversion experience. Our tools are under constant review and development, with new features being added every week.

How does converting LWO to SKP work?

In order to successfully convert an LWO formatted file to the SKP format, our converter tools will perform several initial checks to ensure the file provided is indeed an LWO file. There are many files out there where the file type extension does not match the data contained within the file. Along with these file type checks, our tools will do additional checks to ensure the file is correctly formatted to match the provided file type. There are many tools out there that do not always create LWO files to the exact specification.

Take your LWO file

An LWO file is a binary data file containing 3D data that makes up the 3D model, including vertices, faces, texture coordinates, and more. To guarantee efficient conversions, our tool will check all data that is contained within the LWO file and remove any information that is duplicated. This not only ensures the conversion completes more quickly, but also the generated SKP file size is smaller.

As the SKP file format does not support material textures, our tool when processing the LWO file will ignore any texture image files that may be present. It will also ignore any texture coordinate information present in the 3D model data.

Convert the data from LWO to SKP

Now that the data from the LWO file has been processed, our tool can apply any conversion specified options, such as enabling Voxel mode, and with these applied, prepare the data to be converted to the final SKP file format. Part of this process ensures checking the capabilities of the SKP format and removing any data that cannot be represented.

Save to the SKP format

At this point, the LWO to SKP conversion tool will have the 3D model in a state that is ready to be transferred to the SKP format. Our tool creates the SKP file, ensuring all the model data is present and is formatted to match the SKP file specification to ensure the file opens in compatible SKP file editors.

File format information for LWO and SKP

Extension	LWO
Full Name	LightWave Object File
Type	3D Model
Mime Type	application/octet-stream
Format	Binary

Created for the LightWave 3D modelling 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 colour material data contained within LWO files, so the converted file will not contain any colour information.

Extension	SKP
Full Name	SketchUp
Type	3D Model
Mime Type	application/octet-stream
Format	Binary

A SKP file is the native file format for the popular SketchUp 3D modelling application. SketchUp is a growing platform, popular with industrial architechs and 3D design enthusiasts alike who like the ease with which complex 3D models can be produced.

The SKP format is capable of storing complex 3D models and their associated geometric data, such as vertices, edges, faces, materials, and much more. The format is well supported, and it receives updates containing new features on a regular basis.

Due to its popularity, the SKP format is supported by many 3D modelling applications via an import option, and where an import option may be missing, our own SKP conversion tools can convert to and from the most popular 3D formats.

SKP Converter Capabilities

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

Information for converting from LWO to SKP

Your LWO file will be converted to a SKP 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 colour information if it is present in your LWO file; your final 3D model will contain only geometry data.
