The ABC file format is a 3D format created by Sony Pictures and Industrial Light & Magic. It has been designed to store 3D model information, including animations and other useful data that can be harnessed in the television and movie industries.
The format can store all the information required to represent a digital 3D world, including camera settings, 3D models, and all their associated geometry, such as vertices, normals, faces, textures, and other specialist materials that govern the rendered look of the model, along with all animation sequences.
Support for the ABC format can be found in all modern 3D modeling and rendering applications, including the ever-popular Blender which offers both an import and export option for ABC files.

The BLEND file extension is the native 3D modeling file format of the ever-popular Blender 3D modeling software. The Blender format originally came into existence in late 1994 and has since evolved into the advanced 3D format we have today.
The format stores complex 3D mesh data along with textures, animations, lighting, and other information related to 3D scene rendering. The format is popular among those creating 3D videogame graphics and animation sequences due to its advanced features and ease of use.
Along with Blender, BLEND files can also be imported into other popular 3D editing software. The open-source nature of the format allows third-party plugins and scripts to be created to run within the Blender editing environment and extend the format's capabilities.
