OpenGEX File Format - Open Game Engine Exchange
The OGEX file format (Open Game Engine Exchange) is a standardized, human-readable 3D model format designed to streamline asset exchange between game engines such as Unity, Unreal Engine, and proprietary pipelines. Created by the OpenGEX project, it unifies geometry, materials, animations, and scene hierarchies in a single cross-platform format ideal for game development and real-time rendering workflows.
Key Features of OGEX Files
- Comprehensive 3D Data: Stores mesh geometry, materials, lighting, cameras, and node hierarchies.
- Editable Syntax: Text-based format using JSON-style ASCII for easy manual editing and debugging.
- Animation Support: Includes skeletal rigs, morph targets, and keyframe-based animations.
- Flexible & Extensible: Supports custom extensions for physics, metadata, and visual effects integration.
OGEX File Converter Tools
Automesher Application and Autoconverter offer full support for importing and converting OGEX files into popular 3D formats such as OBJ, STL, SKP, and STEP. Built on the reliable Open Asset Import Library, our OGEX converters preserve scene structure, materials, and animation data - enabling accurate integration with modern game engines and CAD platforms. Streamline your pipeline with fast, vendor-neutral OGEX file conversion.
IGES File Format - Initial Graphics Exchange Explained
The IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) file format is widely used across CAD (Computer-Aided Design), CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing), and CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) industries for transferring 3D models and complex designs between different software platforms. Developed in the 1980s and standardized by ANSI and ISO, IGES remains a crucial, legacy-neutral format for 3D data exchange, ensuring long-term interoperability.
What is an IGES (.IGS) File?
IGES files store detailed 3D CAD data using a text-based format that can represent wireframes, surfaces, and solid models. It enables seamless sharing of geometric information without dependency on proprietary software, making it ideal for collaborative projects across engineering, manufacturing, and design fields.
Key Features of the IGES/IGS Format
- Text-Based Geometry Storage: All geometric and structural data is saved in human-readable ASCII text, allowing easy manual editing but often resulting in larger file sizes for complex designs.
- Color Information: IGES supports color at the assembly level, preserving important visual distinctions between different components and parts in a model.
- Transparency Limitations: Unlike newer 3D file formats, IGES does not support transparency (alpha channels), meaning that opacity settings in original designs are not retained after export.
IGES/IGS File Conversion and Processing
Autoconverter offers complete read and write support for IGES files using the Open Cascade technology stack, ensuring full compatibility with the latest IGES specifications. It processes IGES data as triangulated mesh geometry for maximum compatibility. For workflows requiring preservation of native NURBS surfaces and smooth 3D definitions, we recommend using Autoshaper, which maintains original surface accuracy throughout the conversion process.
