What is a LWO file?

LWO (LightWave Object) is the native 3D model format used by LightWave 3D, a professional modeling and animation package. It stores 3D geometry, surface properties, UV maps, and material settings.

LWO was known for its advanced rendering features and was used in television, film, and game development. Although LightWave has declined in popularity, the format is still supported by various 3D tools and importers.

How to open LWO files

LWO files can be opened with LightWave 3D, and many modern 3D programs support them via plugins or importers, including Blender and Cinema 4D.

Use AnyConv to convert LWO to OBJ, FBX, or STL if your modeling tool does not support LWO directly.
