Object File Format
A simple and flexible file format for 3D polygonal objects. It is a versatile tool for storing and transferring 3D geometric data. It has the following features:
- ASCII Text Files: : The OFF files are text-based and use a simple syntax to store geometric data of 3D objects. The files can be easily edited and viewed with any text editor or viewer.
- Polygonal Shapes: The OFF files can store 3D triangles, quads, and other generic polygonal shapes. Each shape is defined by a list of vertices and a list of faces.
- Limitations: The OFF files do not support the conversion of materials, textures, or group names from more sophisticated 3D file formats. These attributes are not stored in the OFF files and are lost during the conversion process.
OFF File Converters: Autoconverter is our primary OFF file converter that can convert OFF files into other mesh file formats, such as STL, SKP, OBJ, PLY, etc. Autoshaper is another OFF file converter that can convert OFF files into smooth NURBS shapes, and save them into BREP, STEP, IGES, etc.
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.
