The LWLO file extension is associated with LightWave 3D, the 3D modeling and animation software originally developed by NewTek. An LWLO file stores a layered object for use in the application.
The file is part of LightWave 3D's object workflow and can preserve the object's separate layers for further editing. LightWave 3D is available for Microsoft Windows and has also been available for Apple Mac OS X.
Open an .lwlo file in LightWave 3D. On Microsoft Windows, install LightWave 3D and use its object-opening commands to load the file.
There is no need for a separate converter when LightWave 3D is available. Open the file in LightWave 3D and save or export the object in another format supported by that application.
Conversion may not preserve all layered object data, so the result should be checked in the target application.
