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 It was later superseded by X3D, which is an XML-based format that supports VRML features and provides several extensions.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.
Extensible 3D File
An open-source, royalty-free standard developed by the Web3D Consortium. X3D uses XML encoding to represent 3D scenes and models. This versatile format excels in web-based 3D graphics, offering real-time rendering capabilities, animation support, and seamless integration with HTML5. Its extensible design makes it ideal for VR/AR applications, engineering visualizations, and interactive simulations.
Key Features of X3D/X3DB
- Legacy: Direct successor to VRML with backward compatibility.
- Web Integration: Designed for HTML5 (X3DOM, Three.js compatibility).
- Scene Graph: Hierarchical organization of nodes (transformations, groups, etc.).
- File Structure: XML-based encoding with human-readable/textual representation.
X3D/X3DB File Conversion
Autoconverter and Automesher Application offer full support for X3D file conversion, ensuring smooth interoperability between X3D and major 3D formats like STL, OBJ, SKP, 3DS, and STEP. Using our effective X3D converters you can easily transfer mesh models to and from this web-friendly 3D standard while preserving geometry, materials, and scene hierarchy.
