Files with LWS extension are 3D image files. LightWave 3D is the most used program to handle LWS files. LWS files contain objects stored as mesh with surface attributes like color, shade, glossiness, etc. Use LightWave 3D to open LWS files.
LWS files are compatible with Mac and Windows software. There are 622 file formats in the 3D image files category that includes the LWS format.
Although LWS files are commonly opened in LightWave 3D, other programs can also open them. Here are tips on opening LWS files and programs that support them.
