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.
Filmbox File
A proprietary, industry-standard file format for 3D assets and animations, originally developed by Kaydara for motion capture and later acquired by Autodesk. As a universal 3D interchange format, FBX enables seamless data exchange between 3D modeling, animation, and rendering applications, while preserving complex hierarchies, textures, and animation data.
FBX Key Features
- Embedded Texture Images: FBX files allow all texture images to be stored directly within the 3D model file, rather than as separate external files. This ensures that the textures travel with the model, making it easier to share, distribute, and maintain visual consistency across different software and platforms.
- Reusable Geometry Components: The FBX format allows for the storage of reusable geometry components, enhancing efficiency and consistency across models.
- Assembly Structures: FBX supports the storage of assembly structures with hierarchical relationships between objects, enabling complex and detailed 3D modeling.
- Model Animation Data: FBX can even store model animation data, although this feature is not currently supported by all software.
FBX File Converters
Autoconverter and Autoshaper software streamline FBX workflows by enabling high-fidelity conversions between FBX and 30+ CAD/3D formats (SKP, STEP, OBJ, etc.). These tools preserve critical data - including geometry, textures, animations, and hierarchies - while offering precision control for both engineering (NURBS) and entertainment (mesh optimization) applications.
