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.

USD Universal Scene Description

Developed by Pixar, is a robust framework for the interchange and collaborative editing of 3D graphics data. It has become essential in the computer graphics industry due to its comprehensive ecosystem that supports large-scale projects.

Key Features of USD and USDZ

• Modularity and Composability: Manage complex USD scenes by composing separate files, allowing different teams to work simultaneously. This enhances collaboration and reduces the risk of conflicts, enabling efficient workflow management in large projects.
• Cross-Platform/Application: Ensures USD data fidelity across different software and platforms, facilitating seamless collaboration in diverse environments. This interoperability reduces the need for data conversion and minimizes errors during transfers.
• Hierarchical Structure: USD files Organize data intuitively, making navigation and manipulation of complex scenes straightforward. This structure simplifies the management of intricate details and relationships within a scene.

USD/USDZ File Conversion

Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application software leverages the industry-leading OpenUSD framework to process USD, USDA, USDC, and USDZ files, delivering flawless and optimized 3D data management. By harnessing OpenUSD's powerful capabilities and exceptional performance, Autoconverter ensures premium-quality conversions, cross-platform compatibility, and efficient workflows for all your 3D content requirements.
