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.
Alias Wavefront Object File
A text-based file format, open standard for storing and exchanging 3D geometry data, widely used across 3D modeling, animation, and rendering software. Unlike binary formats, OBJ files store mesh data in human-readable text, making them highly compatible but less storage-efficient.
Main Benefits and Features
Named Group Objects:
OBJ files can store multiple objects with different names in a single file, which can be useful for organizing complex 3D scenes.Surface Materials:
The OBJ file format supports surface materials with transparent colors and texture images, providing more realistic and detailed 3D models.Geometry Primitives:
OBJ files can store geometry primitives in the form of quads or triangles. However, during the OBJ file conversion using our converters, any quad primitives will be simplified into two triangles, as only triangular facets are supported.OBJ File Size:
Due to its textual format, OBJ files tend to have larger sizes compared to binary file formats like 3DS (3D Studio) or SKP (SketchUp). This means that OBJ files may take longer to load or transfer, and may require more storage space.
OBJ File Conversion
Autoconverter is the best OBJ file converter due to its high accuracy, fast processing speed, and wide 3D format support. It ensures lossless conversions while preserving model details, offering a user-friendly interface for seamless file conversion. If you need to handle OBJ files in AutoCAD, you can use our Automesher Application, which allows for seamless import and export of OBJ files directly in your CAD environment.
