WRL Virtual Reality Modeling File

A a 3D file format used to describe interactive 3D objects and environments. It’s like HTML for 3D = it tells your computer how to display shapes, colors, textures, lighting, and even animations in a virtual space. VRML files can be viewed in web browsers with the right plugin or in 3D modeling software.

Key Features of VRML/WRL

  • 3D Geometry:

    Defines shapes like boxes, spheres, cylinders, and custom meshes.

  • Appearance Settings:

    Supports colors, textures, transparency, and material properties.

  • Scene Hierarchy:

    Uses a node-based structure to organize objects and behavior.

  • X3D Successor:

    The VRML format was developed in the 1990s and became an ISO standard in 1997. It was later superseded by X3D, which is an XML-based format that supports VRML features and provides several extensions.

VRML/WRL File Conversion

Autoconverter and Automesher Application simplify the process of importing, exporting, and converting VRML/WRL files into widely used 3D formats such as STL, OBJ, PLY, FBX, and more. Take your VRML models beyond the browser and seamlessly integrate them into CAD, animation, or 3D printing workflows with our powerful VRML converters.

IGS Initial Graphics Exchange File

A file format widely used in the fields of CAD (Computer-Aided Design), CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing), and CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering), as it enables to transfer of 3D models and designs across different platforms and applications. Developed in the 1980s and standardized by ANSI and ISO, IGES remains a foundational yet legacy-neutral format for 3D data exchange.

Key Features of IGES/IGS

  • Text-Based Geometry Storage:

    The IGES format stores all geometric data in human-readable text, enabling easy editing but potentially creating large files when exporting complex models with dense meshes.

  • Color Representation:

    IGES maintains color information at the assembly level, preserving visual clarity in multi-component designs.

  • Transparency Limitations:

    Unlike modern formats, IGES lacks alpha channel support, meaning transparency settings from original 3D designs won't carry through in exported files.

IGES/IGS File Conversion

Autoconverter provides full read/write capabilities for IGES files through the Open Cascade framework, ensuring compatibility with the latest specifications. The application works exclusively with triangulated mesh geometry when processing IGES files. For projects requiring native NURBS surface preservation, we recommend using Autoshaper, which maintains the original smooth surface definitions throughout conversion.
