OBJ Alias Wavefront Object File

A text-based file format that is extensively used for 3D geometry objects across a variety of 3D software programs. Some of the benefits and features of OBJ files are:

  • Named Group Objects: OBJ files can store multiple objects with different names in a single file, which can be useful for organizing complex 3D scenes.
  • Surface Materials: The OBJ file format supports surface materials with transparent colors and texture images, providing more realistic and detailed 3D models.
  • Geometry Primitives: OBJ files can store geometry primitives in the form of quads or triangles. However, during the OBJ file conversion using our Autoconverter software, any quad primitives will be simplified into two triangles, as only triangular facets are supported.
  • OBJ File Size: Due to its textual format, OBJ files tend to have larger sizes compared to binary file formats like 3DS (3D Studio) or SKP (SketchUp). This means that OBJ files may take longer to load or transfer, and may require more storage space.

JPG Joint Photographic Experts Group Image

This file format is a widely used method for compressing digital images, particularly photographs and other images with continuous color variations. Unlike BMP, which stores every pixel without modification, JPEG uses a lossy compression technique that discards some data to achieve smaller file sizes. Here's a breakdown of the key characteristics of JPEG:

  • Smaller File Sizes: JPEG compression significantly reduces file size compared to BMP, making it efficient for storage, transmission, and web sharing.
  • Adjustable Compression: You can control the level of compression, allowing a trade-off between file size and image quality based on your needs.
  • Good Visual Quality: While discarding some data, JPEG often maintains visually acceptable image quality for most photos and web graphics.
  • Lossy Compression: Discarded data cannot be recovered, leading to potential loss of image detail and quality, especially in areas with high-frequency information like sharp edges or textures.

JPEG to 3D Converters: You can work with JPEG images and various 3D formats with our Autoconverter and Automesher Application tools. These converters can convert JPEG images into 3D formats like STL, DWG, SKP, 3MF, and others. These tools also work with other popular image formats.
