LWO to OFF Conversion

Converting LWO to OFF has never been easier - just follow this quick guide:

  1. Download & Install:

    Convert your LWO files to OFF format seamlessly using Autoconverter - simply install and launch the software on your system.

  2. Import LWO File:

    Either click Open... to browse for your .lwo file, or drag and drop it anywhere in the application window.

  3. Export to OFF Format:

    Use Save As... to specify both location and filename (with .off extension) for your exported mesh file.

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.

OFF Object File Format

A straightforward, human-readable file format designed for representing 3D polygonal models. As a lightweight alternative to complex CAD formats, OFF focuses on storing essential geometric data - vertices, edges, and faces - without proprietary constraints.

Key Features of OFF

  • ASCII Text Files:

    : OFF files are text-based and use a simple syntax to store geometric data of 3D objects. The files can be easily edited and viewed with any text editor or viewer.

  • Polygonal Shapes:

    The OFF format allows to store 3D triangles, quads, and other generic polygonal shapes. Each shape is defined by a list of vertices and a list of faces.

  • Limitations:

    OFF files support only geometric data - materials, textures, and group names from source files are discarded during conversion.

OFF File Conversion

Our software offers two specialized approaches for OFF file conversion. Autoconverter handles conversion of OFF files to common mesh formats including STL, SKP, OBJ, and PLY, maintaining the original polygonal structure. Autoshaper provides advanced conversion of OFF polygonal data into smooth NURBS surfaces, exporting to BREP, STEP, and IGES formats for CAD workflows.
