COB 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.

GIF GIF File Format - Graphics Interchange Format

The GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a well-established bitmap image format developed by CompuServe in 1987. Best known for supporting both static images and looping animations, the GIF format remains popular on the web due to its lightweight file sizes, wide browser compatibility, and retro visual charm. Despite being limited to 256 colors, GIF files are still widely used in memes, web graphics, banners, and simple motion sequences.

Core Features of GIF Images

• LZW Compression: Uses the efficient Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) lossless algorithm, ensuring compact file sizes ideal for fast-loading web content.
• Indexed Color Palette: Supports up to 256 indexed colors, which reduces image complexity and promotes consistent performance across devices and browsers.
• Built-in Animation Support: Natively supports multi-frame animations with looping functionality, widely used for social media content, email campaigns, and digital advertising.
