File conversion

[Brandon Miller]

Is tehre anyway to convert a Lightwave (.lwo) to 3D Max?

[jsruk]

Of course, export from LightWave to *.3ds and then just import in 3DS MAX that 3ds file, simple

[Brandon Miller]

I don't have Lightwave. Any other way?

[jsruk]

Yea but this one is best way...try to download some 3D converter and do the same thing....lwo to 3ds and 3ds to max, couse you probably not gonna find direct lwo to max converter

[Brandon Miller]

If there is a converter out there, I haven't found it.

I wrote once here about Blender capabilities about reading and writing various 3D formats. As it's a free software, it may be of use to many people. From blender.org - Features, here's the list : 3D Studio, AC3D, COLLADA, FBX Export, DXF, Wavefront OBJ, DEC Object File Format, DirectX, Lightwave, MD2, Motion Capture, Nendo, OpenFlight, PLY, Pro Engineer, Radiosity, Raw Triangle, Softimage, STL, TrueSpace, VideoScape, VRML, VRML97, X3D Extensible 3D, xfig export.

My 2 cents

Actually I found the previous link on Blender.org
