What is an LGT file?

LGT files mostly belong to Lightwave 3D. LGT files store lighting configuration data used in specialized graphic and game environments.

3D Graphics: In some cases, these files contain data linked to Truevision Targa Graphic elements and are handled by TGL Lightwave 3D software from NewTek. They may control how light interacts with objects in rendered scenes.

Game Lighting: Other LGT files act as game lighting settings files. They hold parameters such as light intensity, color, and positioning for use in games like Neverwinter Nights and titles related to Age of Empires II: The Conquerors Expansion (reference).

This file type serves to define, adjust, and reproduce lighting effects. To view or modify an LGT file, use the software environment that created it—for instance, Lightwave 3D for 3D applications or a game engine’s configurator for game settings.
FilExt.com tip: Always keep a backup before editing these files.

How can I open an LGT file?

You need a suitable software like Lightwave 3D to open an LGT file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your LGT file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a LGT file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
