RAW File Format - POV-Ray Triangle Mesh Export
The RAW file format used in POV-Ray is a minimal, ASCII-based 3D model format that stores only triangle vertex coordinates (X, Y, Z). Commonly referred to as a triangle mesh format, RAW files are ideal for simple 3D model representations in computational geometry, physics simulations, or custom rendering pipelines where textures and materials are not required.
Key Features of RAW Files
- Minimal Structure: No headers, metadata, or material references - just vertex coordinates per triangle.
- ASCII-Based: Plain text format readable in any text editor, allowing quick manual edits and debugging.
- Triangle Mesh Focus: Designed exclusively for representing 3D geometry as connected triangle vertices.
- Lightweight: Compact file size perfect for processing large vertex datasets without overhead.
RAW File Conversion
Convert RAW files to popular 3D formats with Automesher Application and Autoconverter. Our RAW file converters support output to STL, OBJ, STEP, DAE, and SKP formats while preserving all triangle mesh data. Powered by the Open Asset Import Library, we ensure accurate transformation of your RAW triangle meshes into formats compatible with modern CAD, BIM, or game development workflows.
3D City Model (CityJSON) File
The CityJSON file format is a modern, JSON-based (JavaScript Object Notation) standard designed for storing and exchanging 3D city models. It efficiently encodes buildings, roads, bridges, urban furniture, and other city objects, offering strong support for textures, semantics, and detailed metadata. CityJSON is a lightweight alternative to CityGML, optimized for simplicity, web integration, and high-performance applications.
Key Features of CityJSON Files
- JSON Simplicity: CityJSON files are lightweight, human-readable, and easily parsed by common programming languages, avoiding the complexity of XML structures like in CityGML.
- Semantic Data: Preserves rich metadata, including building heights, roof shapes, material classifications, and road types, enhancing 3D GIS and urban analysis.
- LOD (Level of Detail) Support: Manages multiple levels of detail (LOD1 through LOD4) to suit diverse visualization, simulation, and analysis needs.
- Web-Friendly Format: Perfect for 3D web visualization and integration with JavaScript libraries like Cesium and Three.js.
- Open and Extensible: Developed by the 3D Geoinformation Group (Delft University of Technology), CityJSON is an open standard that promotes interoperability and innovation.
- File Extension Note: Both CityJSON and GeoJSON use the .json extension - ensure you verify the file structure before processing to avoid errors.
CityJSON File Conversion Made Easy
With Autoconverter and Automesher Application, you can seamlessly import, export, and convert CityJSON files into formats like STL, OBJ, SKP (SketchUp), and 3DS. Our tools preserve geometric precision and semantic information, making it easy to integrate 3D city models into your CAD, GIS, and 3D visualization workflows.
