POV-Ray Triangles File
A minimalist ASCII format that stores 3D geometry as plain lists of triangle vertices (X,Y,Z coordinates), without material, color, or topological data. Designed for simplicity, RAW files represent models through raw triangle meshes - ideal for computational workflows where only vertex positions matter - but lack the support for textures or hierarchies.
Key Features of RAW
- File Simplicity: Plain text human-readable format with no headers or metadata.
- Data Content: Stores only vertex coordinates (X Y Z per line).
- Geometry Type: Exclusively represents triangle mesh vertices.
- Small Size: Minimal file overhead due to bare-bones structure.
RAW File Conversion
Automesher Application and Autoconverter software are capable of reading and importing RAW files through the use of the Open Asset Import Library, enabling seamless conversion of triangle-based RAW files into a variety of other formats such as STL, OBJ, DAE, SKP, STEP, and more. Try our reliable RAW converters to export your RAW files into modern formats today!
DAE File Format (COLLADA) - 3D Model Exchange Standard
DAE (Digital Asset Exchange) is a widely supported, XML-based 3D file format designed for seamless interoperability between digital content creation tools. Developed by Sony and maintained by the Khronos Group, the COLLADA standard enables the efficient exchange of complex 3D assets - including mesh geometries, materials, skeletons, and animation data—across different software platforms.
Key Features of DAE/COLLADA Files
- Reusable Geometry: Enables multiple objects to reference the same geometry instance, minimizing file size and improving performance.
- Multi-Texture Support: Supports advanced material properties with multiple texture images and coordinate sets for each mesh face.
- Opacity and Object Grouping: Allows control over transparency and organizes objects into named groups for easier scene editing and manipulation.
Convert DAE Files to Other 3D Formats
With Autoconverter and Autoshaper, you can accurately convert DAE (COLLADA) files to other popular 3D formats such as STL, OBJ, SKP, DWG, 3MF, and more. These tools use the open-source OpenCOLLADA framework to ensure full support for both COLLADA 1.4 and 1.5 specifications. Preserve animations, materials, and scene hierarchy with reliable conversion powered by OpenCOLLADA.
Streamline your 3D pipeline with powerful DAE file conversion tools - ideal for game developers, animators, and CAD professionals working across platforms.
