Convert VRML to SKP: The Must-Know Facts

VRML to SKP: Resources

Refer to the following resources for additional support on the interoperability and exchange of VRML and SKP file formats. They will assist you in transitioning from VRML to SKP files.


VRML File WRL

The VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) is an ASCII file format used to store 3D objects along with additional attributes such as light sources, materials, textures, and world transformations. These elements are crucial for rendering the entire 3D scene in a web browser. It’s important to note that the modern and more advanced replacement for VRML is the X3D file format. With our Autoconverter and Automesher Application products, you can import and export VRML files, and convert them into various other file formats. However, please be aware that material textures are only processed for IndexedFaceSet shape geometries saved in the VRML file.


SketchUp SKP File SKP

The SKP (SketchUp) file format, initially maintained by Google and now actively developed by Trimble, allows for the storage of reusable geometry component instances, named mesh groups, and materials with texture images. It’s important to note that starting from the SKP file version 16, the Win32 build is no longer available, making it advisable to use the Win64 build for converting the latest SketchUp models. With our Autoconverter software, you can save SKP files in any required version, from the early SketchUp 3 to the most recent SketchUp 2022.
