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.


X3D X3D File - Extensible 3D Graphics Format

X3D (Extensible 3D) is an open-standard, royalty-free 3D file format developed by the Web3D Consortium. Based on XML, X3D is designed for real-time 3D rendering and interactive scenes directly within web environments. It is the official successor to VRML and supports animations, shading, interactivity, and integration with modern web technologies like HTML5 and WebGL.

Key Features of X3D and X3DB Files

  • VRML Successor: X3D offers backward compatibility with VRML while expanding functionality with modern web capabilities.
  • Web-Ready Format: Seamlessly integrates with X3DOM, Three.js, and other HTML5/JavaScript libraries for interactive 3D graphics on the web.
  • Scene Graph Structure: Organizes 3D content hierarchically, allowing precise control over transformations, lighting, geometry, and animations.
  • Text-Based XML Encoding: Human-readable file structure makes it easy to edit, validate, and manage X3D content in development workflows.

Convert X3D Files to Other 3D Formats

Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application provide powerful tools to convert X3D and X3DB files into popular 3D formats including STL, OBJ, 3DS, SKP, and STEP. Maintain full scene integrity, geometry, and materials while transitioning between web-based and CAD-ready formats.

Transform X3D into production-ready 3D models for printing, design, or virtual visualization. Try our X3D file converter now and simplify your 3D workflow today!
