Convert COB to VRML - Quick & Precise 3D File Conversion

COB to VRML Conversion

Follow this easy step-by-step guide to convert COB to VRML with our robust tool:

1. Install Autoconverter

   Download and install Autoconverter on your system. Launch the software to convert COB files to VRML 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 VRML Format

   Use Save As... to export your file to the VRML file format (.wrl, .vrml).

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.

WRL Virtual Reality Modeling File

A a 3D file format used to describe interactive 3D objects and environments. It’s like HTML for 3D = it tells your computer how to display shapes, colors, textures, lighting, and even animations in a virtual space. VRML files can be viewed in web browsers with the right plugin or in 3D modeling software.

Key Features of VRML/WRL

• 3D Geometry: Defines shapes like boxes, spheres, cylinders, and custom meshes.
• Appearance Settings: Supports colors, textures, transparency, and material properties.
• Scene Hierarchy: Uses a node-based structure to organize objects and behavior.
• X3D Successor: The VRML format was developed in the 1990s and became an ISO standard in 1997. It was later superseded by X3D, which is an XML-based format that supports VRML features and provides several extensions.

VRML/WRL File Conversion

Autoconverter and Automesher Application simplify the process of importing, exporting, and converting VRML/WRL files into widely used 3D formats such as STL, OBJ, PLY, FBX, and more. Take your VRML models beyond the browser and seamlessly integrate them into CAD, animation, or 3D printing workflows with our powerful VRML converters.
