COLLADA (COLLAborative Design Activity) |
.dae |
COLLADA (COLLAborative Design Activity) is an interchange file format for interactive 3D applications. COLLADA defines an open standard XML schema for exchanging digital assets among various graphics software applications that might otherwise store their assets in incompatible file formats. COLLADA documents that describe digital assets are XML files, usually identified with a .dae (digital asset exchange) filename extension. |
FBX (Filmbox) |
.fbx |
FBX (FilmBox) is a popular 3D file format which is now one of the main 3D exchange formats used by many 3D tools. FBX is available in both binary and ASCII file format. The format was established to provided interoperability between digital content creation applications. |
gLTF (Graphics Library Transmission Format or GL Transmission Format)) |
.gltf .glb |
glTF (Graphics Library Transmission Format or GL Transmission Format) is a file format for 3D scenes and models using the JSON standard. It is an API-neutral runtime asset delivery format. This format is intended to be an efficient, interoperable format with minimum file size and runtime processing by apps. glTF also defines a common publishing format for 3D content tools and services. |
OBJ (Object File) |
.obj |
The OBJ file format is a simple data-format that represents 3D geometry alone — namely, the position of each vertex, the UV position of each texture coordinate vertex, vertex normals, and the faces that make each polygon defined as a list of vertices, and texture vertices. Vertices are stored in a counter-clockwise order by default, making explicit declaration of face normals unnecessary. OBJ coordinates have no units, but OBJ files can contain scale information in a human readable comment line. |
STL (stereolithography) |
.stl |
STL (an abbreviation of "stereolithography") is a file format native to the stereolithography CAD software. This file format is widely used for rapid prototyping, 3D printing and computer-aided manufacturing. STL files describe only the surface geometry of a three-dimensional object without any representation of color, texture or other common CAD model attributes. |
