The VRML (or WRL) file format is used to store 3D models and their environments in a simple-to-edit, plain text format. The VRML format has been around since the 1990s and has gained widespread support as a convenient 3D graphics format.
The 3D data is stored within the file in a hierarchical format, allowing 3D objects to be grouped and manipulated together. The format also allows 3D objects to be assigned unique IDs, allowing them to be referenced elsewhere in the same document, allowing the same 3D model to be used multiple times while only defining its vertices, faces, and other 3D data once.
While the format still enjoys support within many 3D editing applications, the VRML format has been officially superseded by the XML-based X3D format, which comes with more features and, with its use of the standard XML format, more support amongst 3D modeling applications.
VRML Converter Capabilities
Our VRML 3D Model/Mesh tool does not support any color material data contained within VRML files, so the converted file will not contain any color information.
| Extension | SKP |
| Full Name | SketchUp |
| Type | 3D Model |
| Mime Type | application/octet-stream |
| Format | Binary |
A SKP file is the native file format for the popular SketchUp 3D modeling application. SketchUp is a growing platform, popular with industrial architechs and 3D design enthusiasts alike who like the ease with which complex 3D models can be produced.
The SKP format is capable of storing complex 3D models and their associated geometric data, such as vertices, edges, faces, materials, and much more. The format is well supported, and it receives updates containing new features on a regular basis.
Due to its popularity, the SKP format is supported by many 3D modeling applications via an import option, and where an import option may be missing, our own SKP conversion tools can convert to and from the most popular 3D formats.
SKP Converter Capabilities
Our 3D conversion tool does not support color or material information in SKP files, so your file will not contain any color information.
