LightWave 3D Scene (.lws)

The LWS (LightWave 3D Scene) file extension is used by LightWave 3D, a 3D modeling, animation, and rendering software developed by NewTek and now maintained by LightWave Digital. An LWS file contains scene information, including object positions, camera settings, and references to other files like LWO (LightWave 3D Object) files. It is primarily used in industries such as TV, film, architecture, advertising, and video game development. The format allows for easy editing and portability of 3D scenes.
