Graphics Language Transmission File
A file format developed and maintained by the Khronos Group organization, a consortium of industry leaders that creates open standards for graphics, media, and parallel computing. It is designed to facilitate the efficient storage and exchange of 3D models.
Key Features of GLTF and GLB
- GLTF Versions: There are two versions of the GLTF file format that are available:
- GLTF 1.0: Supports basic geometry, simple materials with textures, basic skeletal animations with joint hierarchies, scenes with a single root node and a hierarchy of child nodes, etc.
- GLTF 2.0: Supports more features, such as PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials, Draco compression, advanced skeletal animations, skinning, morph targets, etc.
- ASCII and Binary Modes: By default, a GLTF file is saved in ASCII text mode, which is human-readable and easy to edit. To save a GLTF file with all referenced texture images in binary mode, the GLB file extension should be used. This reduces the file size and the number of files.
- Embedded Textures: GLTF/GLB files allow for a more streamlined and efficient way to manage 3D assets. By storing textures directly within the file, these formats eliminate the need for separate image files, making the 3D model self-contained and easier to distribute.
GLTF/GLB File Conversion
Autoconverter and Automesher Application allow you to import and export GLTF and GLB files, and convert them into various other 3D file formats. Our products also support the use of Draco compression, which can significantly reduce the size of GLTF and GLB files without compromising visual fidelity.
SketchUp File
A versatile 3D modeling format, native for SketchUp, initially developed by Google and now actively maintained by Trimble. Known for its efficiency and ease of use, SKP files are widely utilized in architecture, interior design, engineering, and product development.
Key Benefits and Features
- 3D Model Data: SKP files support reusable geometry components, named mesh groups, and textured materials, enabling efficient modeling workflows. The ability to reuse components can significantly speed up the design process, making SKP files a valuable asset in both architectural and product design workflows.
- Version Compatibility: Different SKP file versions have different requirements for conversion. For example, SKP file version 16 and above need Win64 build, while earlier versions can use Win32 build. It is important for users to be aware of these SKP version-specific requirements to ensure seamless SketchUp file sharing and collaboration.
- Scalability: Whether you are designing a small furniture piece or an extensive urban landscape, SKP files efficiently handle models of varying complexity and scale. SketchUp's optimization ensures smooth performance even for large, detailed 3D scenes.
SKP File Conversion
SKP files can be saved and converted across multiple versions, from SketchUp 3 to SketchUp 2025, with the help of our Autoconverter, a powerful tool ensuring high accuracy and efficiency. Autoconverter allows users to convert SKP files between different versions, facilitating collaboration across various SketchUp versions and ensuring that designs can be accessed and modified regardless of the specific version used by different team members.
