FAQ:
Why LWM models have to be hosted on external server?
PlayCanvas Editor cannot currently upload raw binary files that are not supported by PlayCanvas asset pipeline, so for now LWM models must be hosted externally (with proper CORS support).
Why LWM converter tool can run only on Windows operating system?
LWM converter was written in C# so it needs .NET 4.5 platform installed on your machine, and for now the only OS that supports .NET 4.5 is Windows.
