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.

Filmbox File
A proprietary, industry-standard file format for 3D assets and animations, originally developed by Kaydara for motion capture and later acquired by Autodesk. As a universal 3D interchange format, FBX enables seamless data exchange between 3D modeling, animation, and rendering applications, while preserving complex hierarchies, textures, and animation data.
FBX Key Features
- Embedded Texture Images: FBX files allow all texture images to be stored directly within the 3D model file, rather than as separate external files. This ensures that the textures travel with the model, making it easier to share, distribute, and maintain visual consistency across different software and platforms.
- Reusable Geometry Components: The FBX format allows for the storage of reusable geometry components, enhancing efficiency and consistency across models.
- Assembly Structures: FBX supports the storage of assembly structures with hierarchical relationships between objects, enabling complex and detailed 3D modeling.
- Model Animation Data: FBX can even store model animation data, although this feature is not currently supported by all software.
FBX File Converters
Autoconverter and Autoshaper software streamline FBX workflows by enabling high-fidelity conversions between FBX and 30+ CAD/3D formats (SKP, STEP, OBJ, etc.). These tools preserve critical data - including geometry, textures, animations, and hierarchies - while offering precision control for both engineering (NURBS) and entertainment (mesh optimization) applications.
