COB Caligari TrueSpace COB File Format

The COB file format was developed by Caligari Corporation for its 3D modeling and animation software, TrueSpace. COB files store complete 3D scene data including geometry, materials, textures, lights, and animation. Though TrueSpace is now discontinued, COB remains an essential format for preserving and converting legacy 3D content.

Key Features of COB Files

  • Full 3D Scene Storage: COB files encapsulate entire scenes with objects, lighting, cameras, and animation data.
  • Two Format Variants:
    • ASCII COB: Human-readable format ideal for manual inspection and debugging.
    • Binary COB: Compact format optimized for performance and faster loading times.
  • Material & Texture Support: Includes surface colors, image textures, and basic shading information.
  • Geometry Types: Supports both NURBS-based and polygon mesh 3D models for greater flexibility.

COB File Conversion Tools

Use Autoconverter and Automesher Application to import and convert COB files into modern 3D formats such as FBX, OBJ, SKP, STEP, and SAT. Our converters retain crucial data including UV mapping, materials, and mesh topology by utilizing the Open Asset Import Library (Assimp) for accurate and reliable file processing.

Note: COB files can only be imported - exporting to COB format is not supported.

BMP Windows Bitmap (BMP) Image Format

The BMP (Bitmap) file format is a classic raster image format developed for Microsoft Windows systems. Known for its simple structure and pixel-perfect accuracy, BMP files ensure universal compatibility across software platforms. While BMP images offer lossless quality, they typically have larger file sizes compared to compressed formats like PNG or JPEG.

Key Features of BMP Files

  • Pixel-Perfect Uncompressed Quality: BMP images store every pixel exactly, making them ideal for applications requiring high precision, such as medical imaging and scientific visualizations.
  • Simple, Universal Structure: With a straightforward file structure, BMP files are easy to create, edit, and open in basic and advanced image editing programs alike.
  • Large File Size: Because BMP files are usually uncompressed, they consume more storage space and are less suitable for web use where file size impacts loading speed.
  • Widespread Compatibility: As one of the oldest raster image formats, BMP is natively supported by Windows OS, Photoshop, Paint, GIMP, and countless other software solutions.

Convert BMP Images to 3D Formats

With Autoconverter and Automesher Application, you can effortlessly convert BMP files into popular 3D file formats such as STL, OBJ, 3DS, and 3DM. These tools also support other standard image-to-3D conversions, helping you bring 2D bitmap images into 3D modeling environments.
