Does anyone have knowledge of how the 3D import/export tools work?

I've been really getting into using Blender recently, and I love the latest version. I've used Blender on and off for years, but could never get to grips with it. I've always found Lightwave more intuitive and easier to use. I've actually used Lightwave since my Amiga days, so I'm pretty familiar with it biggrin

But I'd like to be able to use Blender to do the modelling for EECH, and the the only way just now would be to export them as .obj files, then import them to LW. It would be good if the import/export tools could be changed to work with Blender files.

I've made tiny changes in lwo2eeo convertor but barely understand how it works.
Developer, that have a chance to make it work, should know very well both Lightwave and Blender files structure, also not sure blender has compatible scene editor.

Hmm, when I know a bit more about Blender scenes I might see if I can work it out. I could never get used to Blender, but since the 2.8 update, it's so much easier to use than before.
