RAW to U3D
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to the RAW and U3D interoperability and exchange that can help you with the RAW to U3D conversion.

RAW POV-Ray File
RAW (POV-Ray Triangles) is a simple ASCII file format that just stores a list of triangle vertices without any further material or topological data. Each text line of the RAW file stores nine floating point numbers that represent the 3D space coordinates of the three triangle vertices. Our Automesher Application and Autoconverter RAW file converters, can read and import RAW files thanks to the open asset import library. However the saving and exporting to a simple triangle RAW file format is not yet supported. Feel free to create a support request for such a feature.
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.
