GLB GLTF and GLB 3D File Format

The GLTF (GL Transmission Format) and GLB file types are modern open standards developed by the Khronos Group for efficient storage, transmission, and rendering of 3D models. Designed for the web, gaming, VR/AR, and real-time applications, these formats enable compact, high-performance 3D asset workflows across platforms.

Key Features of GLTF and GLB Files

  • GLTF Versions:
    • GLTF 1.0: Supports basic geometry, textures, simple materials, and skeletal animations with joint hierarchies.
    • GLTF 2.0: Adds advanced features like PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials, Draco compression, morph targets, skinning, and enhanced animation capabilities.
  • ASCII vs Binary: GLTF files are human-readable (JSON format), while GLB files combine 3D data, textures, and materials into a compact, binary format for faster loading and easier distribution.
  • Embedded Textures: Both GLTF and GLB can embed textures directly, creating self-contained 3D assets ideal for web and mobile applications.

Convert GLTF and GLB Files

With Autoconverter and Automesher Application, you can easily import, export, and convert GLTF and GLB files to formats like OBJ, FBX, STL, and more. Our software supports Draco compression, enabling significantly smaller file sizes while preserving the quality and performance of your 3D assets.

IV IV File - Open Inventor 3D Scene Format

The IV file format, also known as the Open Inventor format, is a text-based 3D graphics standard originally developed by Silicon Graphics (SGI). Designed for complete 3D scene representation, IV files use hierarchical scene graphs to define geometry, lighting, materials, and textures. The format played a key role in early 3D development and is tightly integrated with the Open Inventor API - an object-oriented C++ toolkit used in scientific visualization, CAD, and simulation.

Key Features of IV Files

  • Readable File Structure: Human-friendly ASCII format that organizes 3D content using nested nodes for easier editing and scripting.
  • Scene Graph Hierarchy: Defines parent-child relationships between 3D objects using a directed acyclic graph (DAG) structure.
  • Rich Visual Metadata: Includes lighting, shading, camera settings, and full material definitions (specular, ambient, diffuse, transparency).
  • Texture Support: Handles both procedural and raster-based textures using UV mapping coordinates.
  • Legacy Compatibility: Ideal for scientific and engineering applications that still rely on Open Inventor-based platforms.

Convert IV Files to FBX, glTF, OBJ, and More

Use Autoconverter to easily convert IV files to modern 3D formats like FBX, glTF, STL, OBJ, and DAE. Our IV file converter preserves full scene structure, materials, and geometry, bridging the gap between legacy and modern 3D workflows. Whether you are updating legacy data or working in cross-platform 3D environments, Autoconverter makes IV file conversion seamless and reliable.
