A follow up on the review.
I was able to get the 30-day trial of Lightwave 2020, I exported to FBX and LWO 2005 and LWO 2015 formats. I imported the the FBX file into 3DS Max R9. The polygon count now matches since it was exported as Quads not tris. Also the scale seems to be ok now (need to check). I imported both the LWO 2005 and LWO 2015 files into Deep Exploration v5.x and both were read, while the LWO file in this package could not be read. I then exported one of the LWO file into the 3ds format and I got quads with the correct polygon count. For some reason Lightwave 2020 won't export to 3ds format, get an error about triangles.
Any of the imports gets a single mesh (object) that needs to be separated. I am not familiar with Lightwave and I may be making some mistakes exporting the file.
