| static readonly Glb |
GLB is the binary file format representation of 3D models saved in the GL Transmission Format (glTF). This binary format stores the glTF asset (JSON, .bin and images) in a binary blob. Learn more about this file format here. |
| static readonly Gltf |
glTF (GL Transmission Format) is a 3D file format that stores 3D model information in JSON format. The use of JSON minimizes both the size of 3D assets and the runtime processing needed to unpack and use those assets. Learn more about this file format here. |
| static readonly Jt |
JT (Jupiter Tessellation) is an efficient, industry-focused and flexible ISO-standardized 3D data format developed by Siemens PLM Software. Mechanical CAD domains of Aerospace, automotive industry, and Heavy Equipment use JT as their most leading 3D visualization format. Learn more about this file format here. |
| static readonly Ma |
A file with .ma extension is a 3D project file created with Autodesk Maya application. It contains large list of textual commands to specify information about the file. Learn more about this file format here. |
| static readonly Mb |
A file with .mb extension is a binary project file created with Autodesk Maya application. Unlike the MA file format, which is in ASCII file format, MB files are stored in binary file format. Learn more about this file format here. |
| static readonly Obj |
OBJ files are used by Wavefront’s Advanced Visualizer application to define and store the geometric objects. Backward and forward transmission of geometric data is made possible through OBJ files. Learn more about this file format here. |
| static readonly Ply |
PLY, Polygon File Format, represents 3D file format that stores graphical objects described as a collection of polygons. The purpose of this file format was to establish a simple and easy file type that is general enough to be useful for a wide range of models. Learn more about this file format here. |
| static readonly Rvm |
RVM data files are related to AVEVA PDMS. RVM file is an AVEVA Plant Design Management System Model project file. AVEVA’s Plant Design Management System (PDMS) is the most popular 3D design system using data-centric technology for managing projects. Learn more about this file format here. |
| static readonly ThreeDS |
A file with .3ds extension represents 3D Sudio (DOS) mesh file format used by Autodesk 3D Studio. Autodesk 3D Studio has been in 3D file format market since 1990s and has now evolved to 3D Studio MAX for working with 3D modeling, animation and rendering. Learn more about this file format here. |
| static readonly ThreeMF |
3MF, 3D Manufacturing Format, is used by applications to render 3D object models to a variety of other applications, platforms, services and printers. It was built to avoid the limitations and issues in other 3D file formats, like STL, for working with the latest versions of 3D printers. Learn more about this file format here. |
| static readonly U3d |
U3D (Universal 3D) is a compressed file format and data structure for 3D computer graphics. It contains 3D model information such as triangle meshes, lighting, shading, motion data, lines and points with color and structure. Learn more about this file format here. |
| static readonly Usd |
A file with .usd extension is a Universal Scene Description file format that encodes data for the purpose of data interchanging and augmenting between digital content creation applications. Developed by Pixar, USD provides the ability to interchange elemental assets (such as models) or animation. Learn more about this file format here. |
| static readonly Usdz |
A file with .usdz is an uncompressed and unencrypted ZIP archive for the USD (Universal Scene Description) file format that contains and proxies for files of other formats (such as textures, and animations) embedded within the archive and runs them directly with the USD run-time without any need of unpacking. Learn more about this file format here. |
| static readonly Vrml |
The Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) is a file format for representation of interactive 3D world objects over the World Wide Web (www). It finds its usage in creating three-dimensional representations of complex scenes such as illustrations, definition and virtual reality presentations. Learn more about this file format here. |
| static readonly X |
A file with .x extension refers to DirectX 3D Graphics legacy file format that was introduced with Microsoft DirectX 2.0. It was used for 3D graphics rendering in games and specifies the structures for meshes, textures, animations, and user-defined objects. It has been deprecated since 2014 as the Autodesk FBX file format serves better as a more modern format. Learn more about this file format here. |
