Here are 2 simple steps to convert your U3D to OBJ using our fast and free U3D converter tool.
Extension | U3D |
Full Name | Universal 3D |
Type | 3D Model |
Mime Type | model/u3d |
Format | Binary |
The U3D file is a 3D file format (Universal 3D) developed by a consortium of well known companies in 2005 with the idea of creating a standardized file format for storing 3D data including mesh vertices, textures, bones and effects.
U3D files are binary in nature containing a block based structure which following later revisions could be extended with custom blocks.
U3D Converter Capabilities
Our U3D 3D Model/Mesh tool does not support any color material data contained within U3D files so the converted file will not contain any color information.
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 U3D file will be converted to a OBJ file using our unified 3D model and mesh conversion tool. Our U3D 3D tool performs accurate conversions of 3D elements such as vertices, faces, normals and relevant material information. Our tool will not attempt to transfer any color information if present in your U3D file, your final 3D model will contain geometry data only.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your U3D file to upload. Your U3D file will be uploaded to our servers. When the U3D to OBJ conversion has completed, you can download your OBJ file straight away.
We aim to process all U3D 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.
