Import Lightwave Object LWO I'm new in Blender, but close to 20 years of experience with Lightwave.
I had read that you can enable LWO import in Edit > Preferences > Add-ons, but there's no Lightwave import option there.

I found Newtek MDD and enabled it, but LWO still doesn't load into Blender.

I keep a copy of Blender 2.79, where it still works, on my desktop to import LWO.

Import, then save as a blend file and open in 2.8x
