LWO LightWave 3D File

The native format for LightWave 3D, a professional-grade software for modeling, animation, and rendering. Designed for high-end 3D content creation, it supports everything from game assets to cinematic visual effects with precision and flexibility.

Key Features of LWO

• Geometry:

  Supports polygons (quads/n-gons), subdivision surfaces, and metaballs.

• UV Mapping:

  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.

IFC Industrial Foundation Classes File

It is an open, ISO-certified standard (ISO 16739) specifically designed for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. As a vendor-neutral format, IFC enables seamless data exchange and interoperability between different software applications, eliminating proprietary barriers in collaborative projects.

IFC Format Capabilities

The IFC format can store comprehensive project data for AEC workflows, including but not limited to:

• Geometry:

  The IFC standard captures detailed 3D representations through multiple entity types including solids, surfaces, curves, and point clouds.

• Units:

  Each model component specifies its measurement system (meters, inches, degrees, or radians) for precise interpretation.

• Materials:

  IFC's material system controls visual properties through RGBA values (0-1 range) for accurate color and transparency settings.

• Instances:

  Through IFC's mapping system, identical geometries can be referenced multiple times, optimizing storage and performance.

• Structure:

  IFC organizes projects hierarchically using named components with unique identifiers, enabling complex project management.

• BIM:

  As a BIM-native (Building Information Modeling) format, IFC stores building information like properties, constraints, and relationships alongside geometry.

IFC File Conversion

Autoconverter and Automesher Application support IFC format, allowing you to import and export IFC models seamlessly. You can edit custom properties of IFC geometries and convert them to various 3D file formats. However please note that some IFC-specific features might not be fully supported in other formats and could be lost during conversion.
