Here are 2 simple steps to convert your DAE to OBJ using our fast and free DAE converter tool.
| Extension | DAE |
| Full Name | COLLADA - Collaborative Design Activity |
| Type | 3D Model |
| Mime Type | text/xml |
| Format | Text |
| Opens With | Blender, MeshLab |
The DAE format (also known as COLLADA) is a 3D file format used to describe 3D models, meshes and 3D worlds using a simple text based structure. The format was introduced in 2004 by Sony Computer Entertainment and is currently managed by the Khronos Group.
DAE files are a text/Xml based file format containing 3D geometric information used to describe 3D objects and meshes such as vertices, faces, animations, materials, camera/lighting elements and other related metadata. The format has widespread usage and support with applications such as Blender and MeshLab being able to read and write to the format.
DAE Converter Capabilities
When converting 3D Model/Mesh files using our [ey] converter we will attempt to convert color materials into a suitable format for use in the converted file.
| Extension | OBJ |
| Full Name | Wavefront |
| Type | 3D Model |
| Mime Type | text/plain |
| Format | Text |
| Opens With | MeshLab, CAD Assistant, DAZ Studio |
The OBJ file format originally created by Wavefront Technologies and later adopted by many other 3D software vendors is a simple text-based file format for describing 3D model/geometry. This data can include Vertices, Faces, Normals, Texture Coordinates and references to external Texture files.
As the format is text-based it is relatively straight-forward to parse by 3D modelling applications. A downside of the text-based format is the files can be rather large compared to similar binary formats such as STL and compressed files such as 3MF.
Your DAE file will be converted to a OBJ file using our unified 3D model and mesh conversion tool. Our DAE 3D tool performs accurate conversions of 3D elements such as vertices, faces, normals and relevant material information. As DAE supports color materials and OBJ does not, our tool will not attempt to transfer any color information, your final 3D model will contain geometry data only.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your DAE file to upload. Your DAE file will be uploaded to our servers. When the DAE to OBJ conversion has completed, you can download your OBJ file straight away.
We aim to process all DAE to OBJ 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.
