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.

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.
USD & USDZ File Format - Universal Scene Description by Pixar
Universal Scene Description (USD), developed by Pixar, is a powerful framework for creating, editing, and exchanging complex 3D scenes. Now widely adopted in the VFX, animation, and AR industries, the USD ecosystem supports large-scale pipelines through its modular, scalable, and cross-platform architecture. USDZ is its optimized variant for mobile AR applications, especially on Apple devices.
Key Features of USD and USDZ
- Modular and Composable Architecture: USD enables efficient scene composition by referencing multiple files, allowing teams to collaborate on complex projects without data duplication or conflicts.
- Cross-Platform Interoperability: USD ensures accurate data exchange across software platforms like Maya, Blender, Unreal Engine, and more - ideal for collaborative, multi-tool workflows.
- Hierarchical and Layered Scene Representation: Easily organize 3D data using namespaces, variants, layers, and references, providing unparalleled control over versioning and detail management.
Convert USD, USDA, USDC, and USDZ Files
Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application software supports full-featured conversion for USD, USDA, USDC, and USDZ formats. Powered by the OpenUSD framework, our tools allow you to import, export, and convert USD files to popular 3D formats like GLTF, FBX, STL, OBJ, SKP, and STEP. Whether you are developing for AR, animation, or CAD pipelines, our converters offer precision and compatibility across platforms.
