Caligari TrueSpace Object File
A file format for storing 3D objects that was created by the Caligari Corporation. It is used by their software, TrueSpace, which is a 3D modeling and animation program. Here are some of the key features and benefits of COB:
- COB File Formats: There are two types of COB files:
- ASCII: COB files are human-readable and can be edited with just a text editor.
- Binary: COB files are machine-readable only but they are more compact and efficient.
- COB File Import: Autoconverter and Automesher Application can import COB files and convert them to other 3D formats, such as STEP, SAT, FBX, SKP, OBJ, and others. We use the open asset import library, which is a cross-platform library that supports many 3D file formats. By using this library, we can preserve the original features of the COB file, such as the materials, textures, UV coordinates, and other properties.
Graphics Interchange Format
This versatile image format has been a staple of the internet since its creation in 1987, offering unique features for both static and animated images. Let's dive into the world of GIFs!
- Web-Friendly Compression: GIFs use a special compression technique called LZW, making them surprisingly small in size without sacrificing image quality. This makes them ideal for web use, where loading speed is crucial.
- A Burst of Color: With a color palette of up to 256 colors, GIFs offer a vibrant yet concise way to represent graphics and logos. While not ideal for photorealistic images, this limitation often leads to a charming, retro aesthetic.
- Animation Powerhouse: The true magic of GIFs lies in their ability to create short, looping animations. From simple banner ads to hilarious reaction memes, GIFs offer a dynamic way to capture attention and convey emotions.
GIF to 3D Converters: Multiple image formats, including GIF, are supported by our Autoconverter and Automesher Application tools. You can use these converters to transform GIF files into 3D formats, such as STL, DAE, FBX, STEP, and many others.
