Caligari TrueSpace Object File
A proprietary 3D file type created by Caligari Corporation for their TrueSpace modeling and animation software. This format was designed to store complete 3D scenes including geometry, materials, and animation data from TrueSpace projects. While the software is no longer actively developed, COb files remain important for working with legacy 3D assets and converting older TrueSpace creations to modern formats.
Key Features of COB
- Complete 3D Scene Storage: COB files save entire 3D scenes including models, lights, and cameras in a single file.
- COB File Formats: There are two types of COB files:
- ASCII - Human-readable for manual edits and debugging in any text editor.
- Binary - Smaller file sizes and faster loading for complex 3D scenes.
- Material Support: The COB format stores color, texture, and basic material properties for 3D objects.
- NURBS and Mesh Data: Supports both NURBS surfaces and polygonal mesh geometry types.
COB File Conversion
Autoconverter and Automesher Application support importing COB files (TrueSpace format) and converting them to other 3D formats like STEP, SAT, FBX, SKP, and OBJ. The conversion preserves key elements including materials, textures, and UV coordinates from the original COB file. This is made possible through our use of the Open Asset Import Library, which ensures reliable cross-platform conversions. Note that only import is supported - you cannot export back to COB format.
Windows Bitmap Image
This file format is a type of image file designed for storing digital images on Windows systems. It's known for its simple structure, universal compatibility, and ability to maintain pixel-perfect accuracy, but also for its lack of compression and advanced features.
Key Features of BMP
- Uncompressed Accuracy: BMP files preserve every pixel which make them ideal for medical imaging, scientific data visualization, and applications requiring pixel-level precision.
- Simple Structure: Straightforward structure makes BMP files readily editable in basic image editing programs. Longstanding format ensures compatibility with a vast range of computer software and systems.
- Large File Sizes: Uncompressed nature leads to bigger BMP files, impacting storage efficiency and potentially slowing down web loading.
