Consider adding more file formats support about f3d HOT 46 OPEN

Hi,

.ply is supported already. .xyz has no real standard for point clouds. Ill take a look at e57

from f3d.

+1 for USD is the upcoming standard.

from f3d.

added the vote and moved it up. We would need someone willing to work with OpenVDB. library.

FYI @Meakk

from f3d.

About e57: http://www.libe57.org/

Looks like there is a lib.

from f3d.

+1 for .3mf

I would also very much like to se support for .3mf as all major software packages around 3D print add it recently. It is supposed to have some advantages over .stl, see e.g. https://blog.prusa3d.com/3mf-file-format-and-why-its-great_30986/ .

from f3d.

USD is pretty essential. It will very soon be the core 3d format imo

from f3d.

Added @H4kunaM4tata vote for .3mf

from f3d.

USD format support added!

from f3d.

Dedicated isssue created for 3mf, blend and X support!

from f3d.

Added your vote and a note for vdb (which has its own issue : #181 )

from f3d.

For anyone following this, please note that since plugins are now supported, anyone can develop their own plugin, as @YangShen398 did for abaqus !

more usd votes, we definitely should consider it.

from f3d.

Hi @OloOcki !

• CityGml is already supported :)
• I've added pcd and las to the list.

from f3d.

Added a .3mf vote from reddit

from f3d.

Thanks !

TBH it's all thanks to VTK, that you may want to add in your list too, as a library.

from f3d.

USD support coming soon.

Is support for MaterialX within USD important?

from f3d.

Good point! Ive combined them!

from f3d.

3MF, please

from f3d.

I am voting for VDB as well, it is super common in VFX pipelines.

from f3d.

Also please consider supporting more point cloud formats.
.pts is already available, but tbh I've never come across one single pts file. e57, ply, and even simple xyz are much more common.

from f3d.

Would be amazing to have ztl, maya ascii, 3DXML, and the ability to open 3dPDF files albeit that may be out of the scope of this project

from f3d.

Pretty much all proprietary formats, i'd not get my hopes up.

• https://drawing.wiki/skills/whats-the-difference-between-ztl-and-zpr-files-in-zbrush/
• https://autodeskmaya.fandom.com/wiki/ASCII_File (may be doable since it is text based)
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3DXML

from f3d.

I figured ztl was a stretch, and the models will be super heavy too generally. 3DXML is supported by many apps so I assumed it wasn't but I guess not. Some other software imports maya ascii too for example Zbrush

from f3d.

Added your vote @crafthive ! I hope someone who knows the format could go ahead and implement support,

from f3d.

also - I think opensource, multi-application formats should get priority over proprietary/application specific formats

from f3d.

@mrpurest : tbh it is more about finding contributors willing to add support for specific file formats

from f3d.

@mrpurest : added your .usd vote

from f3d.

Thank you @mwestphal , happy 3D printing.

from f3d.

added a few votes for USD as it was mentionned on reddit multiples times

from f3d.

First of all - an excellent project!

I'd like to vote for an open formats:

• 3D Models: CityGML in .gml encoding (specs: https://www.ogc.org/standard/citygml/), even without semantics and jsut geometry could be nice
• Point clouds: .pcd (https://pointclouds.org/documentation/tutorials/pcd_file_format.html) ; LAS/LAZ (https://www.loc.gov/preservation/digital/formats/fdd/fdd000418.shtml)

from f3d.

Hi @OloOcki !

* CityGml is already supported :)

* I've added pcd and las to the list.

Hi @mwestphal excellent! I've missed it! I'll update the list of CityGML-supported viewers, then! Awesome CityGML

Thank you for adding!

Added two ifc votes

Please support extension ( blender + maya )

from f3d.

I've added your .blend vote @MostFull , what is Maya format specifically?

Thank you for your efforts. I would like to point out that some formulas are repeated twice in the first comment. For example, (ma) has two votes, and another (ma) has two votes. Why are there two (ma) ?

Open Cascade BRep format could be useful for CAD users working with OCC-based procedural generation (eg. cadquery, build123d) to F3D pipelines.

example file here: https://github.com/tpaviot/pythonocc-demos/blob/master/assets/models/Motor-c.brep
