COB to JPEG Conversion

You can easily transform COB into JPEG by following our simple guide:

  1. Install Autoconverter

    Download and install Autoconverter on your system. Launch the software to convert COB files to JPEG format.

  2. Import COB File

    Click Open... to load your COB (.cob, .scn) file, or drag and drop it into the application window.

  3. Export to JPEG Format

    Use Save As... to export your file to the JPEG image format (.jpeg, .jpg).

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.


JPG JPEG/JPG Image Format for Compression and 3D Conversion

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is one of the most popular file formats for compressing and storing digital images. Unlike BMP, which saves every pixel uncompressed, JPEG uses lossy compression to significantly reduce file sizes by discarding some image data - a trade-off that allows for faster loading times, easier sharing, and efficient storage without dramatically sacrificing visual quality.

Key Characteristics of JPEG/JPG Files

  • Efficient File Size: JPEG compression drastically reduces image file sizes, making it ideal for web use, emails, and online portfolios.
  • Adjustable Compression Levels: Users can fine-tune the balance between image quality and file size to suit different applications, from high-quality prints to web-optimized photos.
  • High Visual Quality: Despite lossy compression, JPEG images maintain a visually acceptable quality for most photographs and digital artworks.
  • Permanent Data Loss: Because JPEG compression is lossy, some image details, especially fine textures and sharp edges, are permanently discarded and cannot be recovered.
