COB to JPEG Conversion
You can easily transform COB into JPEG by following our simple guide:
Install Autoconverter
Download and install Autoconverter on your system. Launch the software to convert COB files to JPEG format.
Import COB File
Click Open... to load your COB (.cob, .scn) file, or drag and drop it into the application window.
Export to JPEG Format
Use Save As... to export your file to the JPEG image format (.jpeg, .jpg).

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.
Joint Photographic Experts Group Image
This file format is a widely used method for compressing digital images, particularly photographs and other images with continuous color variations. Unlike BMP, which stores every pixel without modification, JPEG uses a lossy compression technique that discards some data to achieve smaller file sizes.
Key Characteristics of JPEG or JPG
- Smaller File Sizes: JPG compression significantly reduces file size compared to BMP, making it efficient for storage, transmission, and web sharing.
- Adjustable Compression: You can control the level of compression, allowing a trade-off between file size and image quality based on your needs.
- Good Visual Quality: While discarding some data, JPEG often maintains visually acceptable image quality for most photos and web graphics.
- Lossy Compression: Discarded data cannot be recovered, leading to potential loss of image detail and quality, especially in areas with high-frequency information like sharp edges or textures.
JPEG/JPG to 3D Conversion
Autoconverter and Automesher Application enable you to work with JPEG images and multiple 3D formats. These powerful tools convert JPEG files into 3D formats including STL, DWG, SKP, 3MF, and more, while also supporting other popular image formats. Ready to transform your JPG images into 3D models?
