COB Caligari TrueSpace COB File Format

The COB file format was developed by Caligari Corporation for its 3D modeling and animation software, TrueSpace. COB files store complete 3D scene data including geometry, materials, textures, lights, and animation. Though TrueSpace is now discontinued, COB remains an essential format for preserving and converting legacy 3D content.

Key Features of COB Files

• Full 3D Scene Storage: COB files encapsulate entire scenes with objects, lighting, cameras, and animation data.
• Two Format Variants:
  • ASCII COB: Human-readable format ideal for manual inspection and debugging.
  • Binary COB: Compact format optimized for performance and faster loading times.
• Material & Texture Support: Includes surface colors, image textures, and basic shading information.
• Geometry Types: Supports both NURBS-based and polygon mesh 3D models for greater flexibility.

COB File Conversion Tools

Use Autoconverter and Automesher Application to import and convert COB files into modern 3D formats such as FBX, OBJ, SKP, STEP, and SAT. Our converters retain crucial data including UV mapping, materials, and mesh topology by utilizing the Open Asset Import Library (Assimp) for accurate and reliable file processing.

Note: COB files can only be imported - exporting to COB format is not supported.

SKP SketchUp 3D Model - SKP File Format

The SKP file format is the native 3D model format for SketchUp, originally developed by Google and now maintained by Trimble. Known for its simplicity and powerful modeling capabilities, SKP files are widely used in architecture, interior design, engineering, and product design for creating detailed 3D models quickly and efficiently.

Key Features and Advantages of SKP Files

• Comprehensive 3D Data: SKP files store reusable components, grouped meshes, layers, scenes, and textured materials, enabling streamlined modeling workflows and faster project development across architectural and engineering disciplines.
• Version-Specific Requirements: SketchUp files vary by version. For instance, SKP files from version 2016 and newer require a Win64 build for compatibility, while older files can be opened with Win32 builds. Understanding SKP version differences is crucial for smooth file sharing and project collaboration.
• Scalability and Performance: Whether modeling small furniture pieces or large urban environments, SKP files scale efficiently. SketchUp optimizations ensure that even large, highly detailed scenes maintain fast, responsive performance.

SKP File Conversion and Version Management

Need to convert SketchUp files across different versions? Our Autoconverter software offers a seamless solution. Autoconverter can accurately convert SKP files from SketchUp 3 up to SketchUp 2025, allowing easy collaboration across different SketchUp releases.
