VRML to OBJ Conversion

Check out this easy guide to turn VRML into OBJ with our powerful converter:

  1. Download & Install:

    Convert your VRML files to OBJ format seamlessly using our Autoconverter - simply install and launch the software on your system.
  2. Import VRML File:

    Either click Open... to browse for your .vrml file, or drag and drop it anywhere in the application window.
  3. Export to OBJ Format:

    Use Save As... to specify both location and filename (with .obj extension) for your exported file.

Is VRML to OBJ conversion giving you headaches? Our professional guides make VRML files conversion painless:


WRL Virtual Reality Modeling File

A a 3D file format used to describe interactive 3D objects and environments. It’s like HTML for 3D = it tells your computer how to display shapes, colors, textures, lighting, and even animations in a virtual space. VRML files can be viewed in web browsers with the right plugin or in 3D modeling software.

Key Features of VRML/WRL

  • 3D Geometry:

    Defines shapes like boxes, spheres, cylinders, and custom meshes.
  • Appearance Settings:

    Supports colors, textures, transparency, and material properties.
  • Scene Hierarchy:

    Uses a node-based structure to organize objects and behavior.
  • X3D Successor:

    The VRML format was developed in the 1990s and became an ISO standard in 1997. It was later superseded by X3D, which is an XML-based format that supports VRML features and provides several extensions.

VRML/WRL File Conversion

Autoconverter and Automesher Application simplify the process of importing, exporting, and converting VRML/WRL files into widely used 3D formats such as STL, OBJ, PLY, FBX, and more. Take your VRML models beyond the browser and seamlessly integrate them into CAD, animation, or 3D printing workflows with our powerful VRML converters.


OBJ Alias Wavefront Object File

A text-based file format, open standard for storing and exchanging 3D geometry data, widely used across 3D modeling, animation, and rendering software. Unlike binary formats, OBJ files store mesh data in human-readable text, making them highly compatible but less storage-efficient.

Main Benefits and Features

  • Named Group Objects:

    OBJ files can store multiple objects with different names in a single file, which can be useful for organizing complex 3D scenes.
  • Surface Materials:

    The OBJ file format supports surface materials with transparent colors and texture images, providing more realistic and detailed 3D models.
  • Geometry Primitives:

    OBJ files can store geometry primitives in the form of quads or triangles. However, during the OBJ file conversion using our converters, any quad primitives will be simplified into two triangles, as only triangular facets are supported.
  • OBJ File Size:

    Due to its textual format, OBJ files tend to have larger sizes compared to binary file formats like 3DS (3D Studio) or SKP (SketchUp). This means that OBJ files may take longer to load or transfer, and may require more storage space.

OBJ File Conversion

Autoconverter is the best OBJ file converter due to its high accuracy, fast processing speed, and wide 3D format support. It ensures lossless conversions while preserving model details, offering a user-friendly interface for seamless file conversion. If you need to handle OBJ files in AutoCAD, you can use our Automesher Application, which allows for seamless import and export of OBJ files directly in your CAD environment.
