Here are 2 simple steps to convert your ABC to SKP using our fast and free ABC converter tool.
Extension | ABC |
Full Name | Alembic |
Type | 3D Model |
Mime Type | application/octet-stream |
Format | Binary |
Opens With | Blender |
An Alembic ABC file is a widely used data interchange format in the computer graphics and visual effects industries. It was developed by Sony Pictures Imageworks and Industrial Light & Magic and is designed to store and exchange animated 3D geometry and other visual data efficiently. The term "Alembic" is derived from the alchemical device used for distillation, reflecting its purpose to capture and distill complex 3D scenes into a compact and portable format. ABC files provide a means to transfer complex animations and scenes between different software applications, allowing artists and studios to work seamlessly across various tools and platforms.
The Alembic ABC file format excels in its ability to handle massive datasets with multiple animated elements efficiently. It stores geometric information, vertex positions, normals, UV coordinates, and animation data such as vertex animations, skeletal deformations, and camera movements. This makes it a powerful asset in animation pipelines for film, television, gaming, and other visual media. Additionally, ABC files are highly compressed, enabling faster data transfer and reduced storage requirements without sacrificing data integrity, making them an ideal choice for handling complex 3D animations.
With Alembic's broad support in major 3D software packages, such as Autodesk Maya, Blender, Houdini, and Cinema 4D, among others, artists and technical directors can easily import and export ABC files, fostering collaboration and workflow integration across different software environments. As a result, Alembic ABC files have become an essential part of the modern animation and visual effects industry, enabling efficient and reliable data exchange and contributing to streamlined production processes and creative flexibility.

When converting 3D Model/Mesh files using our ABC converter we will attempt to convert color materials into a suitable format for use in the converted file.
Extension | SKP |
Full Name | SketchUp |
Type | 3D Model |
Mime Type | application/octet-stream |
Format | Binary |
A SKP file, which stands for SketchUp file, is a proprietary 3D modeling format primarily used by SketchUp, a popular software application developed by Trimble Inc. It serves as the native file format for storing and exchanging 3D models created within SketchUp. SketchUp is widely employed in various fields such as architecture, interior design, engineering, and video game development due to its user-friendly interface and versatile tools. The SKP file contains detailed information about the geometry, textures, materials, and other components that constitute the 3D model, enabling users to save and share their creations seamlessly.
One of the significant advantages of SKP files is their compact size, making them relatively easy to handle and share over the internet or through emails. Additionally, the format allows users to maintain the integrity of their designs, as SKP files preserve the hierarchy and organization of the model's elements. Beyond SketchUp, SKP files can be exported to other formats like DWG, DAE, or STL, broadening their compatibility with other 3D modeling software and applications.
Due to its widespread use and compatibility, the SKP file format has become an industry standard in 3D modeling and design. Its flexibility, combined with SketchUp's growing popularity, has made it a favored choice for professionals and enthusiasts seeking efficient and accessible tools for creating and sharing their 3D projects.
SKP Converter Capabilities
When converting your ABC to SKP our tool will attempt to accurately convert any color/material information.
Your ABC file will be converted to a SKP file using our unified 3D model and mesh conversion tool. Our ABC 3D tool performs accurate conversions of 3D elements such as vertices, faces, normals and relevant material information. As both ABC and SKP support color material information our tool will also attempt to convert the color information too.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your ABC file to upload. Your ABC file will be uploaded to our servers. When the ABC to SKP conversion has completed, you can download your SKP file straight away.
We aim to process all ABC to SKP conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds however this can be longer for certain files, so please be patient.
We aim to provide the best conversion experience. Our tools are under constant review and development with new features being added every week.
