Yes, converting STEP to LWO uses lossy compression, which reduces file size by discarding some visual data. Set quality to 85-95% for a good balance of quality and file size.
LWO files are typically 50-80% smaller than STEP files because LWO uses efficient lossy compression. The exact reduction depends on quality settings.
STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data) is the ISO 10303 standard for exchanging parametric 3D CAD models with full manufacturing information.
LWO files are built around lossy compression. Designed for legacy lightwave game assets, tv and film visual effects, they use the model/lwo MIME type and typically range from varies by content.
