VRML File - Virtual Reality Modeling Language (.WRL)
VRML (.wrl and .vrml files) are text-based 3D file formats used to describe interactive virtual environments and 3D objects. Often called the "HTML of 3D", VRML specifies how shapes, materials, lighting, textures, and even animations are displayed in virtual spaces. Originally designed for web-based 3D content, VRML can still be opened in compatible 3D software or browser plugins, and remains relevant in legacy and educational applications.
Key Features of VRML/WRL Files
- 3D Geometry Support: Defines primitive shapes (boxes, spheres, cones) and complex polygonal meshes.
- Visual Appearance: Includes color, texture, transparency, material properties, and lighting effects.
- Scene Graph Hierarchy: Organizes 3D elements using a structured node-based architecture for animations and interactions.
- X3D Compatibility: VRML became an ISO standard in 1997 and served as the foundation for X3D, its modern XML-based successor.
Convert VRML (.WRL) to Other 3D Formats
With our advanced Autoconverter and Automesher Application, you can easily convert VRML/WRL files to STL, OBJ, PLY, FBX, STEP, and other popular 3D formats. Whether you are migrating legacy 3D assets or preparing models for 3D printing, animation, or CAD workflows, our VRML file converters ensure accuracy and compatibility across platforms.
Transform outdated VRML files into modern 3D formats effortlessly - streamline your pipeline and unlock new possibilities for interactive and professional 3D projects today.
Rhinoceros 3D (3DM) File Format
The 3DM file format is the native format for Rhinoceros 3D (Rhino), a leading NURBS-based 3D modeling software used across industries like architecture, engineering, and industrial design. 3DM files accurately store mathematical representations of curves, surfaces, solids, and meshes, making them essential for precision 3D modeling and CAD workflows.
Key Features of 3DM Files
- NURBS Geometry: Supports precise, smooth surfaces critical for advanced design and engineering projects.
- Polygonal Meshes: Stores tessellated 3D models ideal for rendering, simulation, and 3D printing workflows.
- SubD Surfaces: Allows flexible, editable subdivision modeling for organic shapes and complex surfaces.
- Instance References: Saves memory by creating linked object instances, optimizing large and detailed models.
Convert 3DM Files Seamlessly
Autoconverter and Autoshaper simplify 3DM file conversion to popular formats like STEP, IGES, OBJ, STL, and DWG. Automate the export of 3DM polygon meshes for 3D printing, or preserve NURBS data for engineering-grade CAD models. Save files in legacy (Rhino 2.X - 7.X) or latest Rhino 8.X formats to ensure compatibility across all project environments.
