The TAR file format is a popular compressed archive format that enables you to apply compression to files to reduce their size, making them easier to transmit over the internet.

Files can be compressed into a TAR folder while retaining their original permissions and other file attributes. Entire folder structures can also be compressed into the TAR format, with the compression algorithm getting great compression results from any type of file.

TAR archives, while not as popular as others, are supported by many archive extraction applications.

The OBJ file format is a 3D graphics file format used to define complex 3D models, including geometry, materials, and textures. OBJ files are text files, making them human-readable and easy to modify by hand. The downside to this ease of readability is that the files can become rather large when dealing with large or complex 3D models.

As mentioned, the OBJ format stores not only 3D model geometry but also materials and textures. These materials are usually defined in a separate file with the MTL file extension and specify geometry rendering details such as diffuse and specular colour, transparency, and much more.

The OBJ material file can also reference external texture files. These are usually JPEG or PNG files; however, these can be older formats, such as TGA. Where materials are used, the OBJ file will also contain material names preceding the geometry faces they should be applied to. If textures are referenced, the geometry will also contain texture coordinates (UV) for each vertex.
