Convert Modo 3D scenes (LXO) online for free
The converter easily converts your LXO 3D scenes to various formats - free and online. No Modo or or other 3D software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "3D Scene File" file type, you need software like Modo or a similar tool.
The .LXO file is the native 3D scene format used by Modo, a professional 3D modeling and rendering application currently developed by Foundry. It acts as a comprehensive container for a 3D project, storing polygonal geometry, subdivision surfaces, animation rigs, lighting setups, UV maps, and complex material properties.
Because .LXO is a heavily proprietary format, it presents significant compatibility roadblocks in standard workflows. You cannot open an .LXO file without a paid commercial license for Modo. Standard operating systems, web browsers, and document viewers cannot preview these files. Furthermore, sharing an .LXO file with a client or a team member using a different 3D pipeline - such as Blender or Maya - is impossible without forcing them to find specialized import plugins.
To make these files usable outside of the Modo ecosystem, you must convert them. For editing and pipeline integration, convert to FBX (which retains basic animation and scene hierarchy) or OBJ (the most reliable choice for static geometry). For web viewing, augmented reality, and modern game engines, convert to GLB or GLTF. For 3D printing purposes, convert to STL. Keep in mind that Modo-specific procedural materials and proprietary rigging constraints will be lost or baked down during conversion. Drag and drop your file to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software.
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your LXO file.
Users also converted BIP, ZIP, MAX, X3D, 3DXML and OBJ files.
If you want to convert LXO file to DAE, MAX, BLEND, MA, MB, C4D or WRL, you can use Modo or similar software from the "3D Scene Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DWG, DAE, X3D, IGES, WRL, JT, SKP, 3DS, 3DM, OBJ, STEP or FBX files to LXO, try Modo or another comparable tool in the "3D Scene Storage" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our LXO converter.
