Free Online LWO to WRL Converter

You can use our LWO to WRL 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 WRL 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 WRL 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 WRL?

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

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

We aim to process all LWO to WRL 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 WRL 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 WRL work?

In order to successfully convert an LWO formatted file to the WRL 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 WRL file size is smaller.

As the WRL 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 WRL

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 WRL file format. Part of this process ensures checking the capabilities of the WRL format and removing any data that cannot be represented.

Save to the WRL format

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

File format information for LWO and WRL

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	WRL
Full Name	Virtual Reality Modeling Language
Type	3D Model
Mime Type	model/vrml x-world/x-vrml application/x-cc3d
Format	Text
Opens With	MeshLab

The WRL (or VRML) file format is used to store 3D models and their environments in a simple-to-edit, plain text format. The WRL format has been around since the 1990s and has gained widespread support as a convenient 3D graphics format.

The 3D data is stored within the file in a hierarchical format, allowing 3D objects to be grouped and manipulated together. The format also allows 3D objects to be assigned unique IDs, allowing them to be referenced elsewhere in the same document, allowing the same 3D model to be used multiple times while only defining its vertices, faces, and other 3D data once.

While the format still enjoys support within many 3D editing applications, the WRL format has been officially superseded by the XML-based X3D format, which comes with more features and, with its use of the standard XML format, more support amongst 3D modelling applications.

WRL Converter Capabilities

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

Information for converting from LWO to WRL

Your LWO file will be converted to a WRL 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.
