COB to BMP Conversion
Want to change COB to BMP? Follow this simple step-by-step process:
Install Autoconverter
Download and install Autoconverter on your system. Launch the software to convert COB files to BMP format.
Import COB File
Click Open... to load your COB (.cob, .scn) file, or drag and drop it into the application window.
Export to BMP Format
Use Save As... to export your file to the BMP image format (.bmp).

Caligari TrueSpace Object File
A proprietary 3D file type created by Caligari Corporation for their TrueSpace modeling and animation software. This format was designed to store complete 3D scenes including geometry, materials, and animation data from TrueSpace projects. While the software is no longer actively developed, COb files remain important for working with legacy 3D assets and converting older TrueSpace creations to modern formats.
Key Features of COB
- Complete 3D Scene Storage: COB files save entire 3D scenes including models, lights, and cameras in a single file.
- COB File Formats: There are two types of COB files:
- ASCII - Human-readable for manual edits and debugging in any text editor.
- Binary - Smaller file sizes and faster loading for complex 3D scenes.
- Material Support: The COB format stores color, texture, and basic material properties for 3D objects.
- NURBS and Mesh Data: Supports both NURBS surfaces and polygonal mesh geometry types.
COB File Conversion
Autoconverter and Automesher Application support importing COB files (TrueSpace format) and converting them to other 3D formats like STEP, SAT, FBX, SKP, and OBJ. The conversion preserves key elements including materials, textures, and UV coordinates from the original COB file. This is made possible through our use of the Open Asset Import Library, which ensures reliable cross-platform conversions. Note that only import is supported - you cannot export back to COB format.
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.
