COB File
COB (Caligari TrueSpace Object) is a 3D object file format developed by Caligari Corporation. The COB file can be encoded in ASCII and binary formats and in general binary files should be used as they are smaller and faster for programs to process. Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application COB file converters, can read and import COB files thanks to the open asset import library. It allows us to support custom materials, textures, UV coordinates and other common 3D object properties.
OBJ File
OBJ (Alias Wavefront Object) is a text-based file format for 3D geometry objects which is very popular and widely supported by many 3D software programs. The OBJ file format is capable of storing named group objects, surface materials with transparent colors and texture images, and quads or triangles as geometry primitives. However, our Autoconverter software will simplify every OBJ quad primitive with two triangles as only triangular facets are supported during the OBJ file conversion. It's important to mention that due to a textual format OBJ files will always be much bigger than the binary files, e.g. 3DS (3D Studio) or SKP (SketchUp).
