Convert COB to VRML - Quick & Precise 3D File Conversion

COB to VRML Conversion

Follow this easy step-by-step guide to convert COB to VRML with our robust tool:

1. Install Autoconverter

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

   Use Save As... to export your file to the VRML file format (.wrl, .vrml).

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.

WRL VRML File - Virtual Reality Modeling Language (.WRL)

VRML (.wrl and .vrml files) are text-based 3D file formats used to describe interactive virtual environments and 3D objects. Often called the "HTML of 3D", VRML specifies how shapes, materials, lighting, textures, and even animations are displayed in virtual spaces. Originally designed for web-based 3D content, VRML can still be opened in compatible 3D software or browser plugins, and remains relevant in legacy and educational applications.

Key Features of VRML/WRL Files

• 3D Geometry Support: Defines primitive shapes (boxes, spheres, cones) and complex polygonal meshes.
• Visual Appearance: Includes color, texture, transparency, material properties, and lighting effects.
• Scene Graph Hierarchy: Organizes 3D elements using a structured node-based architecture for animations and interactions.
• X3D Compatibility: VRML became an ISO standard in 1997 and served as the foundation for X3D, its modern XML-based successor.

Convert VRML (.WRL) to Other 3D Formats

With our advanced Autoconverter and Automesher Application, you can easily convert VRML/WRL files to STL, OBJ, PLY, FBX, STEP, and other popular 3D formats. Whether you are migrating legacy 3D assets or preparing models for 3D printing, animation, or CAD workflows, our VRML file converters ensure accuracy and compatibility across platforms.

Transform outdated VRML files into modern 3D formats effortlessly - streamline your pipeline and unlock new possibilities for interactive and professional 3D projects today.
