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.
