In 3D animation rendering process, Although we can render the output as a movie file format, most productions use image sequences in their rendering pipelines. This Image Sequence rendering process is extremely important step in final compositing in movie industries. Although there are various type of making image rendering processes, TGA format Is one of most widely used bitmap file formats using in industries. People may ask TGA format is most suitable for in any case. As we know 3D softwares have their own image formats. so we need to testify on this. In this paper, we are going to focus on Alias' 3D package software called MAYA which we will analyze of compressing image sequence, Image quality, supporting Alpha channels in compositing, and Z-depth information. The purpose of this paper is providing to 3D Pipeline as a guideline about effective image sequence format.

The 3D mesh model is used in various fields, such as virtual reality, shape-based searching, 3D simulation, reverse engineering, 3D printing, and laser scanning. There are various formats for the 3D mesh model, but STL and OBJ are the most typical. Since application systems support different 3D mesh formats, developing technology for converting 3D mesh models from one format into another is necessary to ensure data interoperability among systems. In this paper, we propose a method to convert a 3D mesh model in STL format into the OBJ format. We performed the basic design of the conversion system and developed a prototype, then verified the proposed method by experimentally converting an STL file into an OBJ file for test cases using this prototype.

The most commonly used 3D modeling file formats are OBJ (Wavefront file format specification) and STL (STereoLithography). Although they have a common point of view in 3D on the screen, detailed functions are different according to purpose of development. OBJ is the most commonly used 3D file format and STL is mainly used as 3D file format for 3D printing. However, in the field of Scientific Visualization, precise analysis is required. There is a difference in accuracy depending on the type of 3D file format. OBJ and STL are not suitable for delicate surface description because they form meshes in the form of triangular polygons. And if you increase the number of triangle polygons, it will be smoother, but the file size also increases exponentially and causes excessive CPU usage. In contrast, VTK provides a variety of polygon structures, including triangular polygons as well as rectangular polygons and cube polygons. Thus, delicate surface depiction is possible. Delicate surface rendering is possible and file size is not large. This paper describes the concept and structure of VTK. We also compared the load times and file sizes between VTK, STL, and OBJ in the Chrome browser. In addition, the difference in surface rendering ability between VTK, STL, and OBJ is intuitively viewed based on the screen in which each 3D file format is implemented under the same conditions. This study is expected to be helpful for efficient 3D file format for precise implementation of Web - based Scientific Visualization.

Recently an extension to DMB AF (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting Application Format) standard has been proposed in such a way that the extended DMB AF can include stereoscopic video and stereoscopic images for interactive service data, i.e., MPEG-4 BIFS (Binary Format for Scene) data, in addition to the existing 2D video and 2D images for BIFS services. In this paper we developed a service that provides the streaming of 3D contents in DMB AF by using MPEG-DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) standard and validated it by implementing the client software.

Although there are many needs to use 3D models in MEMS field, it is not easy to generate 3D models based on MEMS CAD. This is because MEMS CAD is based on 2D and their popular format-GDSII file format- has its own limits and problems. The differences between GDSII file format and 3D CAD system, such as (1) superposed modeling, (2) duplicated entity, (3) restricted of entity type, give rise to several problems in data exchange. These limits and problems in GDSII file format have prevented 3D CAD system from generating 3D models from the MEMS CAD. To remove these limits and solve problems, it is important to extract the silhouette of data in the MEMS CAD. The proposed method has two main processes to extract silhouette; one is to extract the pseudo-silhouette from the original 2D MEMS data and the other is to remove useless objects to complete the silhouette. The paper reports on the experience gained in data exchange between 2D MEMS data and 3D models by the proposed method and a case study is presented, which employs the proposed method using MEMS CAD IntelliMask and Solidworks.

On the spatial information open platform, the national spatial data are released to provide services that the people can use freely. Recently, the demand for high quality 3D geospatial information and indoor spatial information is increasing. However, open platform is not able to provide seamless service because spatial data of indoor and outdoor are composed of different formats and storage structures. In addition, the 3D data format used in the current service does not reflect the recent changes in service environment and new technology. Therefore, in this study, we proposed new format of 3D data used in service to improve interoperability and service of open platform 3D data. The proposed format is lighter than the existing format and the rendering speed is improved.

3D file formats typically include OBJ (Wavefront file format), STL (STereoLithography), and FBX (Filmbox). Each format has limitations depending on its configuration and usage, and supported formats are different depending on the software application. glTF helps uniform integration of 3D file formats and allows for more efficient transmission of large 3D geometry files by organizing them in a binary format. This paper presents explanation on OBJ, FBX, and STL which are major examples of existing 3D file formats. It also explains the concept and characteristics of glTF and compares its performance with other 3D file formats on the web. The loading time and packets of each 3D file format are measured according to the web browser environment by means of Google Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge. Experimental results show that glTF is the most efficient and that it exhibits the best performance. As to STL, relatively excessive traffic was observed. This study is expected to contribute to reducing rendering time on the web as 3D file formats are used.

As smartphone H/W performance and mobile communication service have been enhanced, large-capacity 3D modeling files are available in smartphones. Common formats of 3D modeling files include STL (STereoLithography), OBJ (Wavefront file format specification), FBX (Filmbox), and glTF (open GL Transmission Format). Each format has different characteristics depending on the configuration and functions, and formats that are supported are varied depending on the applications. Large-size files are commonly used. The 4th generation mobile communication network secures loading of 3D modeling files and transmission of large-size geometric files in order to provide augmented reality services via smartphones. This paper explains the concepts and characteristics of major 3D file formats such as OBJ, FBX, and glTF. In addition, it compares their performance in a wired web with that in the 4th generation mobile communication network. The loading time and packet transmission in each 3D format are also measured by means of different mobile web browsers (Google Chrome and MS Edge). The experiment result shows that glTF demonstrated the most efficient performance while the loading time of OBJ was relatively excessive. Findings of this study can be utilized in selecting specific 3D file formats for rendering time reduction depending on the mobile web environments.

This study presents a way to construct 3D shape in STL format from 2D slice data. Nowadays ahape reconstruct has been done in many ares, the application of this method is important especially in Reverse Engineering which reconstructs original shape from cross-section data. Current RP (Rapid Prototyping) is used not only for the verification of a part designed but also for the production and tooling in more effective way. In RP technology, data should be prepared in STL format. In this paper, the way to make 3D shape data in STL format form 2D slice data is described which can be used to reconstruct an original shape in RP equipment.
