About DAE to GLTF Conversion

Did You Know?

  • DAE (Digital Asset Exchange) is also known as COLLADA (COLLAborative Design Activity)
  • GLTF is created by the Khronos Group and is known as the "JPEG of 3D" for web and application usage
  • DAE is XML-based and widely used in game development and 3D modeling software
  • Converting DAE to GLTF improves web compatibility and optimizes file size for 3D applications

Technical Insight

Converting DAE to GLTF involves translating the XML-based Collada structure into the JSON-based GLTF format with separate buffer files for binary data.

The process extracts mesh data, materials, textures, and other properties from the DAE file and maps them to the corresponding GLTF structure.

All model information including geometry, materials, textures, animations, and scene hierarchies are preserved during this conversion.

DAE vs GLTF Comparison

DAE Format

  • XML-based format for 3D interchange
  • Widely supported in 3D software
  • Rich animation support
  • External references to textures
  • Limited web browser support

GLTF Format

  • JSON-based format (human-readable)
  • Multiple files (JSON + bin + textures)
  • Easier to edit and debug
  • Optimized for web and app visualization
  • Wide support in browsers and 3D engines
