Convert LXO files online for free
The converter easily converts your LXO file to various formats - free and online. No Blender or extra software needed.
The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other 3D formats to LXO with high quality output.
The .LXO file type is the native project container for Foundry Modo, a powerful 3D modeling, sculpting, and rendering suite. These files function as the master source for a 3D project, storing high-fidelity geometry (meshes), complex shader trees, lighting setups, animation timelines, and rigging data. Because the LXO format is proprietary to Modo (originally developed by Luxology), it suffers from significant interoperability issues. You cannot open these files directly in popular tools like Blender, Autodesk Maya, or game engines like Unity without first exporting them or using a dedicated conversion pipeline. Furthermore, LXO files can become exceptionally large when high-resolution textures or baked physics simulations are embedded, making them difficult to share via email or cloud storage without compression.
To overcome these lock-in and compatibility barriers, the most pragmatic workflow is conversion. For editing geometry in other software, convert LXO to OBJ (Wavefront Object), which preserves the mesh structure universally. If you need to retain animation, rigging, and scene hierarchy for game development, converting to FBX is the industry standard. For web viewing or AR/VR applications where file size matters, converting your scene to GLB or glTF is highly recommended. Utilizing convert.guru allows you to inspect and transform these complex scenes without purchasing a costly Modo license.
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your LXO file.
Users also converted BIP, ZIP, MAX, X3D, 3DXML and OBJ files.
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.
