Caligari trueSpace 3D Object (.cob)

The COB file extension stands for Caligari trueSpace 3D Object, a proprietary format used by the trueSpace 3D modeling and animation software. Introduced by Caligari Corporation, trueSpace was popular in the 1990s and early 2000s for creating and rendering 3D graphics. COB files store 3D geometry, material properties, and other relevant details, enabling efficient optimization and rendering of 3D models. This format played a significant role in the development of 3D graphics and animation during its peak usage.

Polygon File Format (.ply)

The Polygon File Format (PLY) is a versatile file format designed for storing 3D polygonal models. It originated at Stanford University in the mid-1990s to support the Stanford 3D Scanning Repository project. The primary purpose of PLY is to efficiently represent and exchange three-dimensional data, including vertex coordinates, colors, and normals. Its flexibility makes it valuable for various applications such as 3D scanning, computer graphics, and 3D printing. PLY files can store both ASCII and binary data, making them adaptable for diverse processing needs within computer technology.
