BLEND to U3D
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to BLEND and U3D interoperability and exchange that could help you with the BLEND to U3D conversion.
- Convert 3D mesh files in the batch mode
- Automesher desktop application for Windows to convert 3D file formats
BLEND File
BLEND (Blender) is a native file format for the open source Blender software used to create advanced 3D content. The BLEND file can store 3D triangular mesh data, light sources, object animation key frames, texture UV mapping and other data required to create outstanding 3D visualizations and animations. To import and convert BLEND files into your native modeling environment you can use our Autoconverter or Automesher Application converters which will allow you to consume and process BLEND files outside the native Blender environment. Please note however that for the moment we don't support exporting your 3D projects into the BLEND file format which you could process further with the Blender authoring software.
U3D File
U3D (Universal 3D) is an open source compressed file format initiated by the 3D Industry Forum to store three dimensional triangular meshes with the additional properties e.g. color, transparency or texture coordinates for the general 3D graphics industry. The U3D file format is mostly used in combination with the 3D PDF technology which allows you to generate PDF documents containing interactive 3D data from the U3D files. Autoconverter and Automesher Application, our U3D file converters can read and write to and from U3D file format thanks to the publicly available open source IFX converter library provided by the Intel company. To simplify generation of 3D PDF documents our converters create a common TEX script which can be easily used to generate a PDF document with the standard and free LaTeX software.
