Anyone know how to open/view a 10 year old Lightwave (.lwo) file? Lightwave needs me to register an account but won't let me do that. I've tried viewers but they're from the days of Windows XP and don't work on modern machines anymore. File is too big for online converters and I'm out of ideas.

My guess is that this was made around LW 10, but it has no surface nodes, just the old layer style surfacing. You didn't provide the image maps, but it just loads fine in any new LW version. It has a couple of procedural textures that you'll have to recreate in whatever application you're using. The conversion loads fine into blender with all surfaces and UV intact, but since this is a LW object it has lots of n-gons(that render and subdivide just fine in LW, but probably not in blender, idk).
Single & layer-separated versions included for your convenience.

Yeah I have no clue about Lightwave. There were some image maps in the folder but I just wanted the model to use as reference cause I wanted to recreate the ship and eventually 3d print it. Image references are woefully inadequate yet somehow the original modeller did a bang up job. I'm guessing the model needs a lot of work to make it 3d printable?

Dude major thanks once again. I've been wanting to tackle this project for YEARS and you just made it possible.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 28 15:28:34 2020 No.745061 >>744921 No problem anon. I guess its overall shape isn't the most suitable for 3D printing.
