OBJ to X3D
Below, you'll discover a compendium of resources dedicated to the interoperability and exchange of OBJ and X3D file sources. These will aid in the smooth conversion from OBJ to X3D file.
- Autoconverter Uses Vertex Normals to Display Smooth Meshes
- Convert 3D Mesh Files in the Batch Mode
- Convert Smooth Edges in SketchUp SKP Files
- Automesher Desktop Application for Windows to Convert 3D File Formats
OBJ File
The OBJ (Alias Wavefront Object) is a text-based file format that is widely used for 3D geometry objects across various 3D software programs. The OBJ file format can store named group objects, surface materials with transparent colors and texture images, and geometry primitives in the form of quads or triangles. However, it’s important to note that during the OBJ file conversion using our Autoconverter software, any quad primitives will be simplified into two triangles, as only triangular facets are supported. Additionally, due to its textual format, OBJ files tend to have larger sizes compared to binary file formats like 3DS (3D Studio) or SKP (SketchUp).
X3D File
The X3D (Extensible 3D) file format is an open-source and royalty-free XML based format, developed and maintained by the Web3D Consortium. It’s designed to store two or three-dimensional models along with various visualization data, including light sources, viewport information, camera properties, special effects, and more. X3D serves as an advanced extension and a replacement for the original VRML file format, which was primarily used in web applications. Both of our X3D file converters, Autoconverter and Automesher Application, allow for the import and export of mesh entities from X3D files. For optimized file sizes, you have the option to use the binary X3DB file format instead of the default text-based X3D file.
