CityJSON File
A modern, JSON based (JavaScript Object Notation) file format designed for storing 3D city models. It efficiently represents buildings, roads, bridges, and other urban features with support for textures, semantics, and metadata.
Key Features of CityJSON
JSON-Based:
Lightweight, human-readable, and easy to parse (no complex XML like CityGML).Semantic Richness:
Preserves object attributes (e.g., building heights, roof types, road classifications).LOD Support:
Stores multiple Levels of Detail (LOD1 - LOD4) for flexible use cases.Web-Ready:
Works seamlessly with JavaScript, APIs, and 3D web viewers (like Cesium or Three.js).Open Standard:
Developed and maintained by the 3D Geoinformation Group (Delft University).
CityJSON File Conversion
Autoconverter and Automesher Application let you import, export, and convert CityJSON files to formats like STL, OBJ, SKP, and 3DS while preserving semantic data and geometries. Easily integrate 3D city models into your workflows - try our CityJSON converters today!
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.
