lwo file extension viewer

I've recently been provided a link to many 3D models from NASA. Most are in a .lwo format. Does anyone have a recommended viewer for this file type?

I don't have a 3D printer, but I'm interested in exploring the models to possibly de-mesh them - or take dimensions to create models from.

Let me Google that for you ...

It seems that the .lwo file format is used and created by Lightwave 3D design software.

I haven't tried it myself, but this could be of use to you.

Online 3D Converter

Let us know how you get on.

lol, sure yes. I googled first too and then decided that before I download some random malware laden, free-to-download-left-arm-and-leg-to-use warz I would ask you all if you'd have a recommendation.

But I always love the google link. L)

Don't dismiss that Online 3D Converter link too quickly. Just click on it and have a read. As I say, I haven't tried it, but it does specifically mention that it works with LWO files.

Blender.

You will need to enable "Import Lightwave Objects" in the Add-ons panel under "User Preferences".
