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.
Standard ACIS Text File
An open ASCII format for storing precise 3D geometry, developed and maintained by Spatial. SAT files enable seamless 3D data exchange between major CAD systems like AutoCAD and SolidWorks, with broad support across modeling and engineering software.
Key Features of SAT
- Precision Geometry: Stores exact NURBS curves/surfaces (not just meshes).
- B-Rep Support: Maintains boundary representation (surfaces, edges, vertices).
- CAD Neutral: Works across AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Revit, and more.
- Parametric Data: Preserves features like extrusions, fillets, and blends.
SAT File Conversion
SAT files enable conversion of mesh geometry into precise solid models, enhancing 3D model performance and CAD functionality. With Autoconverter, you can easily convert and export your files to SAT format for seamless editing in any CAD software.
