DAE Collada File

The primary file format that allows you to transfer digital assets such as materials, mesh geometries, and 3D scene nodes hierarchy between different 3D software applications. DAE has several advantages over other formats, such as:

  • 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 Files Conversion: You can use our Autoconverter and Autoshaper software to easily process and convert your DAE files. They utilize the OpenCOLLADA framework that supports the latest COLLADA specifications.


IV Inventor File

The IV (Inventor) file format is a 3D graphics file format developed by Silicon Graphics (SGI) for representing 3D scenes and models. It is a text-based format that stores a scene graph, which consists of geometric shapes, materials, lighting, textures, and other properties that define a 3D environment. The format was widely used in the 1990s and is closely associated with the Open Inventor toolkit, a C++ library designed for 3D graphics development. Some of the features of Inventor IV files are:

  • Scene Graph Representation: The IV format uses a hierarchical scene graph to represent 3D scenes. This structure allows for efficient organization and management of complex 3D models, where each node in the graph represents an object or transformation in the scene.
  • Text-Based Format: IV files are human-readable text files, which makes them easy to understand, edit, and debug. This format is also easy to parse programmatically, making it versatile for various applications.
  • Material and Appearance Properties: IV files can define materials with various properties such as color, shininess, transparency, and texture mapping. This allows for detailed control over the appearance of 3D objects in a scene.

IV Files Converter: Autoconverter enables you to effortlessly convert and save your 3D files into the IV (Inventor) file format, providing a seamless transition for further editing and refinement. This capability ensures that your 3D models are preserved in a format that is not only easy to read and modify but also compatible with a wide range of legacy and modern tools.
