| 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.
A WebP file is a next-generation image file format designed for the web. It allows large and highly detailed photographic-quality images to be stored using a very small file size, making it an ideal format for use by websites where bandwidth comes at a premium.
It's aim is to replace other photographic formats, such as JPEG, by offering similar levels of compression and quality while offering a superior reduction in file size. As well as storing static images, the WEBP format can also store animations, making it a great alternative to the traditional animated GIF format.
As the WEBP format is still relatively new, support for it is best found in modern image editing applications or those that benefit from regular updates.
