OFF File
OFF (Object File Format) is a file extension used for ASCII text files with geometric data for 3D polygonal objects. It can support standard 3D triangles, quads and other generic polygonal shapes. Autoconverter is our standard OFF file converter which allows you to convert OFF file format into any other mesh file formats. While Autoshaper our other OFF file converter allows you to convert your OFF file into smooth NURBS shapes. However using the OFF file you can't convert materials, textures or group names from other advanced 3D file formats.
U3D File
U3D (Universal 3D) is an open source compressed file format initiated by the 3D Industry Forum to store three dimensional triangular meshes with the additional properties e.g. color, transparency or texture coordinates for the general 3D graphics industry. The U3D file format is mostly used in combination with the 3D PDF technology which allows you to generate PDF documents containing interactive 3D data from the U3D files. Autoconverter and Automesher Application, our U3D file converters can read and write to and from U3D file format thanks to the publicly available open source IFX converter library provided by the Intel company. To simplify generation of 3D PDF documents our converters create a common TEX script which can be easily used to generate a PDF document with the standard and free LaTeX software.
