What is a .LWS file?
An .LWS file is a type of file used to create three-dimensional scenes using a software called LightWave 3D. This software is popular for 3D modeling, animation, and rendering. The .LWS file includes detailed information such as where objects are placed in the scene, how they move, where the cameras are located, how the cameras move, and links to .LWO files. These .LWO files contain the actual 3D objects that are used in the scene.
The content inside an .LWS file is stored in a format known as LightWave 3D Scene format. This format is special because it saves all the scene information in plain text, which means it can be read and edited with a text editor, although it's primarily designed to be opened and edited in LightWave 3D software.
To open an .LWS file, you should use the LightWave 3D program. This is the main software designed to work with .LWS files, allowing you to view, edit, and manage the 3D scenes created with LightWave 3D. There aren't many other programs that can open this type of file because it's specifically designed for use with LightWave 3D.
