conv3d

A command line utility for the conversion of 3D file formats. 		picto
Conv3d is a free (GPL) command line tool for the conversion of 3D file formats. Whereas there are plenty of free tools that are capable of converting image files (e.g., ImageMagick), corresponding 3D utilities either lack the most important file formats or cost at least several hundreds of Euros / Dollars. Conv3d is based on the free virtual environments library (veLib) which provides excellent loaders and writers for the core features (i.e. mesh geometries and transforms) of the following flexible and widespread file formats:

Usage. Conv3d is a command line utility and therefore needs to be executed in a console/DOS window. The usage is straightforward:

The file types are recognized by their suffixes. If no output file name is provided, the output is streamed to stdout using the ISO standard X3D format.

Download. Conv3d is available as precompiled binaries for Windows and Linux as well as in source code form. If you want to compile conv3d yourself, you need a recent CVS version of the veLib.
