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.


DWG AutoCAD Drawing

Autodesk's AutoCAD is a leading software program in the field of Computer Aided Design (CAD). It is renowned for its support of the native DWG drawing format. Widely used by architects, engineers, and designers, AutoCAD enables precise 2D drafting and 3D modeling. Its powerful tools streamline the creation of technical drawings, floor plans, and construction documentation.

Key Features of AutoCAD

  • 2D Drafting & 3D Modeling:

    Create precise technical drawings and realistic 3D models with a comprehensive set of tools.
  • Customization & Automation:

    Use AutoLISP, scripts, and ObjectARX (AutoCAD’s advanced API) to build custom applications and automate workflows.
  • Native DWG Support:

    Work seamlessly with AutoCAD’s proprietary DWG format, ensuring optimal performance, compatibility, and data integrity.
  • Dynamic Blocks:

    Create intelligent, reusable blocks with adjustable properties.
