| LightWave Object Format | NewTek | 3D Image Files |
The .LWO file is an object file created by LightWave 3D, a 3D graphics software used for animating and rendering 3D models. LWO files contain a collection of 3D objects, including their shapes, surfaces, textures and animation manipulation data. It is the primary file type used by LightWave 3D and is saved in a proprietary format.
To edit an .LWO file in LightWavr 3D, you can open the 3D objects and adjust them in the Object Properties window. The properties that can be modified include the effect of lights, texture mapping, different animation effects or manipulation, and motion paths. You can also assign each object a layer number, which allows you to group them into composites for live editing. It is also possible to export .LWO files in other formats such as .OBJ, .FBX, and .3DS.
Similar File Types
There are several other file types related to LWO files, such as: .LWA, .LWS, .LXO, and LVO.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .LWO) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .LWO extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .LWO file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .LWO extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .LWO extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .LWO file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .LWO file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .LWO file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .LWO file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .LWO file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
