Convert COB to DAE - Instant & Precise 3D File Conversion

COB to DAE Conversion

Check out this easy guide to turn COB into DAE with our powerful converter:

1. Install Autoconverter

   Download and install Autoconverter on your system. Launch the software to convert COB files to DAE format.

2. Import COB File

   Click Open... to load your COB (.cob, .scn) file, or drag and drop it into the application window.

3. Export to DAE Format

   Use Save As... to export your file to the DAE mesh file format (.dae).

COB 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.

DAE Collada File

An open-standard, XML-based file format engineered for flawless 3D asset interoperability across digital content creation platforms. Initially created by Sony and currently maintained by the Khronos Group, DAE functions as a universal bridge for exchanging digital assets - including materials, mesh geometries, and hierarchical 3D scene nodes - between diverse 3D software ecosystems.

DAE Format Capabilities

• Reusable Geometry Components: You can store and reuse geometry instances that are referenced by multiple objects in your DAE scene, saving memory and disk space.
• Multiple Texture Images and Coordinates: You can assign different texture images and texture coordinates to each face of your DAE model, creating complex and realistic materials.
• Color Transparency and Named Groups: You can control the opacity and color of your mesh, as well as organize your DAE objects into named groups for easy selection and manipulation.

DAE File Conversion

Our Autoconverter and Autoshaper applications provide robust support for processing and converting DAE files with maximum fidelity. Leveraging the OpenCOLLADA framework, these tools ensure full compatibility with the latest COLLADA specifications (1.4 and 1.5). The OpenCOLLADA integration guarantees reliable handling of complex assets, from animated characters to textured environments.
