How to Convert COB to OFF?

Our professional converter make it easy to switch COB to OFF - here's how:

  1. Install Autoconverter

    Download and install Autoconverter on your system. Launch the software to convert COB files to OFF 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 OFF Format

    Use Save As... to export your file to the OFF mesh file format (*.off).

COB 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.

OFF OFF File Format - 3D Object File for Polygon Meshes

The OFF (Object File Format) is a simple, ASCII-based 3D file format used for representing polygonal geometry in a lightweight, non-proprietary structure. Designed for academic and development use, the OFF format efficiently stores 3D model data using only vertices, faces, and optional edge information - ideal for geometry-focused workflows without material or texture metadata.

OFF File Features

  • Editable ASCII Structure: OFF files are plain text, easily viewable and editable in any standard text editor, making them perfect for manual modeling or debugging.
  • Supports Polygonal Geometry: Store 3D shapes using triangle meshes, quadrilaterals, or general polygons. Each face is defined by a list of vertex indices, allowing flexible model design.
  • Lightweight and Minimal: Unlike complex CAD formats, OFF excludes materials, textures, and metadata, focusing purely on geometric structure for fast, efficient modeling.

Convert OFF Files to Other 3D Formats

Our 3D conversion tools make working with OFF files fast and flexible. Autoconverter enables direct conversion of OFF mesh models to popular formats such as STL, OBJ, SKP (SketchUp), and PLY - preserving polygonal integrity throughout. For advanced workflows, Autoshaper can convert OFF files into NURBS-based formats like STEP, IGES, and BREP, ideal for CAD software and precision manufacturing.
