The LWO, or LightWave 3D Object file, is a 3D graphics file format originally released in 1990 and available for the Amiga, Mac OS, and Windows. The LightWave software was developed by NewTek and is used in the television and film production of 3D digital effects.

The LightWave software is still a popular choice for 3D modeling and digital effects, with the most recent version being released in 2021. The format can contain 3D model or mesh information along with material and animations.

Frequently Asked Questions

My LWO file contains textures, how do I upload these?

If your LWO file has separate texture (PNG, JPG etc.) files, you can place these additional files, along with the LWO file within a ZIP or other compressed archive file and upload this.

How long does it take to view my LWO file?

We aim to process all LWO file viewing requests as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger or more complex files so please be patient.

How accurate is the LWO file viewer?

We aim to create the most accurate rendition of your LWO file with our tools. Our tools are under constant development with new features and improvements being added every week.

Is it safe to view my LWO file on ImageToStl.com?

Yes, of course! We do not store the LWO file you submit. The generated preview file within your browser is deleted after 1 hour.

Can I view my LWO file on Windows, Linux, Android, iOS or Mac OS?

Yes! Our LWO file viewer will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to use our file viewing tools.
