FAQ
ASC to GLB Conversion
What are ASC files?
The ASC (Esri ASCII Grid) format stores raster geospatial data as plain text. Developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), it describes a rectangular grid of cells using a short header — number of columns and rows, coordinates of the lower-left corner, cell size and a no-data value — followed by the cell values themselves, written row by row as ordinary numbers. Because the entire grid is human-readable text, ASC is widely used for exchanging elevation models, slope maps and other continuous surfaces between GIS packages that would otherwise share no common binary format.
What are GLB files?
GLB is a binary file format, which contains 3D models saved in GL Transmission Format, and is a standardized format to share 3D data. GLB format can be used for free and is mostly used in science and engineering for doing complex analyses of landscape and 3D modelling. A GLB format is supported by all major 3D modeling programs.
