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.

SAT SAT File – Standard ACIS Text Format (.sat)

SAT files are ASCII-based 3D modeling files created using the ACIS geometric modeling kernel, developed by Spatial. Widely used in CAD applications, SAT (Standard ACIS Text) files store exact geometry and parametric data for solid modeling. This format enables accurate data exchange between leading CAD software such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, and Revit.

Key Features of SAT Files

• High-Precision Geometry: Encodes accurate B-Rep (Boundary Representation) data using NURBS surfaces and curves.
• CAD Interoperability: Supports seamless cross-platform exchange between AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Rhino, Revit, and other CAD tools.
• Feature-Rich Modeling: Retains advanced design elements like fillets, lofts, extrusions, blends, and Boolean operations.
• Readable Format: Human-readable ASCII text file that simplifies debugging and version control in collaborative workflows.

Convert to and from SAT Files

Using our powerful Autoconverter software, you can easily convert SAT files from popular 3D formats like STEP, IGES, STL, OBJ, and more. Whether you are preparing models for precision CAD editing or transforming mesh-based data into solid geometry, our SAT converter ensures reliable, high-quality results across platforms.
