VRML to U3D
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to VRML and U3D interoperability and exchange that could help you with the VRML to U3D conversion.

VRML Virtual Reality Modeling Language File
VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) is an ASCII file format to store 3D objects with the other attributes e.g. light sources, materials, textures and world transformations, required to render the whole 3D scene in the web browser. The modern and more advanced replacement for VRML is now X3D file format. Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application software can import & export VRML files and convert them into other file formats. However please note that material textures are only processed for theIndexedFaceSet shape geometries saved in the VRML file.
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.
