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.
FBX Filmbox File
FBX (Filmbox) is a proprietary file format developed by Kaydara and now owned by Autodesk, a leading company in 3D software products. FBX file format can store transparent colors, texture images, reusable geometry components, assembly structures and even model animation data. However, our FBX conversion software, Autoconverter and Autoshaper, do not support animation frames yet. To read and write Filmbox FBX files we use the official FBX SDK from Autodesk.
