LightWave 3D Object (.lwo)

The LWO (LightWave 3D Object) file extension, developed by NewTek, is used to store 3D objects created with LightWave 3D software. Introduced in 1994, LWO files contain polygons, points, surfaces, and texture references, enabling detailed 3D modeling and rendering. Popular in the gaming and animation industries, LWO files can be imported into various 3D software like Blender and Autodesk Maya.

Polygon File Format (.ply)

The Polygon File Format (PLY) is a versatile file format designed for storing 3D polygonal models. It originated at Stanford University in the mid-1990s to support the Stanford 3D Scanning Repository project. The primary purpose of PLY is to efficiently represent and exchange three-dimensional data, including vertex coordinates, colors, and normals. Its flexibility makes it valuable for various applications such as 3D scanning, computer graphics, and 3D printing. PLY files can store both ASCII and binary data, making them adaptable for diverse processing needs within computer technology.
