Graphics Language Transmission File
A file format developed and maintained by the Khronos Group organization. It is designed to facilitate the efficient storage and exchange of 3D models. It has the following features:
- Khronos Group: Khronos Group is a consortium of industry leaders that creates open standards for graphics, media, and parallel computing. This organization developed the GLTF file format.
- GLTF Versions: There are two versions of the GLTF file format that are available:
- GLTF 1.0: Supports basic geometry, simple materials with textures, basic skeletal animations with joint hierarchies, scenes with a single root node and a hierarchy of child nodes, etc.
- GLTF 2.0: Supports more features, such as PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials, Draco compression, advanced skeletal animations, skinning, morph targets, etc.
- ASCII and Binary Modes: By default, a GLTF file is saved in ASCII text mode, which is human-readable and easy to edit. To save a GLTF file with all referenced texture images in binary mode, the GLB file extension should be used. This reduces the file size and the number of files.
- GLTF Converters: Autoconverter and Automesher Application allow you to import and export GLTF and GLB files, and convert them into various other 3D file formats. Our products also support the use of Draco compression, which can significantly reduce the size of GLTF and GLB files without compromising visual fidelity.
Portable Network Graphics Image
It's a type of raster image file format that uses lossless compression. This means that the image quality is preserved even when the file size is reduced. PNG files also support transparency, which allows images to have irregular shapes or backgrounds that blend with the web page. However, PNG files do not support animation, unlike GIF files. Here are some of the key features and benefits of PNG:
- Efficient Storage: PNG offers smaller file sizes compared to uncompressed formats like BMP, leading to faster website loading times.
- Lossless Compression: PNG files use a compression technique that preserves the image quality and details, even when the file size is reduced.
- Diverse Imagery: PNG files are ideal for images that have sharp edges and large solid colors, such as text, line art, and logos. JPEG files tend to produce visual artifacts and blur the edges of such images.
PNG to 3D Converters: Multiple image formats, including PNG, are compatible with our Autoconverter and Automesher Application tools. These converters allow you to import, export, and convert PNG images to different 3D formats, such as STL, 3DS, FBX, 3DM, and many others.
