Point Cloud File
A file extension that is used for ASCII text files that contain point cloud data. Point cloud data is a collection of 3D points that represent the shape of an object or a scene. Each row in an XYZ file consists of 3D point coordinates, typically separated by a special character like a TAB.
Key Features of XYZ
Data Structure:
Each line represents one point (X Y Z coordinates).Minimalism:
No headers, metadata, or binary encoding.No Topology:
Pure vertex data without mesh connections.Industry Use:
Common in surveying, autonomous vehicles, and heritage preservation.
XYZ File Conversion
Autoconverter reconstructs polygonal meshes creating lightweight surface approximations ideal for visualization and 3D printing. For engineering and manufacturing applications requiring mathematical precision, Autoshaper generates smooth NURBS surfaces directly from XYZ point data, providing the accurate surface representation needed for CAD/CAM workflows.

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.
