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.
DAE Collada File
DAE (Collada) file extension is a Digital Asset Exchange file used by many 3D software products as the main file format to exchange digital assets e.q. textures, geometries or just bitmap images. DAE file format is capable of storing reusable geometry component instances, multiple texture images with the corresponding texture coordinates, color transparency and named groups hierarchy. Our DAE file converters either Autoconverter or Autoshaper, can process your Collada DAE files thanks to OpenCOLLADA open framework which allows us to read and write to Collada DAE file format in an easy and efficient way.
