- Description
- A LightWave 3D Scene file (LWS) is a text-based file format used to store 3D scene data created with NewTek's LightWave 3D animation software. It includes information about objects, lights, cameras, surfaces, and other 3D scene components. LWS files can be opened and edited with LightWave 3D.
- The Collada file format was developed to permit cross-platform collaboration when using different design applications. DAE is an open-source format that uses the XML-based schema allowing it to effectively transverse across multiple programs.
