Hi all,

Does anyone know of any free utility programs for converting 3D models into 
different file formats? Ideally I would like to achieve the following 
conversions:

Wavefront (.obj file) to Lightwave (.lwo file)
Wavefront (.obj file) to 3ds Max (.max)
Wavefront (.obj file) to Cinema 4D (.c4d)

or alternatively...
Blender (.blend file) to Lightwave (.lwo file)
Blender (.blend file) to 3ds Max (.max)
Blender (.blend file) to Cinema 4D (.c4d)

I had a quick look at AssimpView but it did not support these options.

Thanks in advance

Reuben

Hi Reuben, long time no hear, :-)

3DS Max will import OBJ files, and Blender will export OBJ files, IIRC. 
So  why do you want another conversion?

Hi Stephen,

I already have the 3d models in .obj format but I want to convert them to 
Lightwave (.lwo file), 3ds Max (.max) or Cinema 4D (.c4d). However, I don't 
have a copy of 3DS Max or Cinema 4D.

Thanks

Reuben
