Stores multiple UV channel coordinates.Compatibility:
Backward-compatible across LightWave versions.Industry Use:
Trusted for broadcast, film VFX, and game development.
LWO File Conversion
Autoconverter and Automesher Application enable seamless conversion of LWO files, preserving geometry, materials, and layer data from LightWave 3D. Using our unique LWO converters you can easily transform 3D mesh models into PLY, STL, OBJ, SKP, CityJSON, or other formats for use in any 3D/CAD software. Need to bridge LightWave with modern workflows? Our tools ensure accurate, production-ready conversions.
Drawing Exchange File
A universal, open file standard developed by Autodesk to enable seamless cross-platform exchange of CAD data between AutoCAD and other design applications. As a vendor-neutral format, DXF preserves 2D/3D geometry, layers, text, and basic metadata, making it ideal for collaboration across different CAD, CAM, and GIS software.
DXF Key Features
Origin:
Developed by Autodesk in 1982 as the ASCII/Binary CAD data interchange format.Compatibility:
Universal standard for 2D/3D CAD programs (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, etc.).ASCII Format:
The DXF format is text-based and uses a standard syntax to store DWG drawing data. It can be easily edited and viewed with any text editor or viewer.Exchange of DWG Drawing:
The DXF format acts as a universal bridge for DWG data exchange between AutoCAD and third-party applications. This solution is especially valuable since Autodesk's proprietary DWG format requires licensed software for full access and editing capabilities.
DXF File Converters
Autoconverter and Automesher Application allow you to import and export DXF files, and convert them into various other file formats. You can use our products to convert 3D meshes into a set of DXF faces organized in colored layers. This allows you to further process and modify your models using your default DWG editor.
