COB to FLIF Conversion
What are COB files?
COB is a 3D graphics format associated with TrueSpace, a program initially developed by Caligari Corporation, acquired by Microsoft in the late 2000s. TrueSpace had several releases and delivered 3D rendering, modeling and animation features, with its latest edition featuring the possibility of several users to connect via broadband internet and contribute to shared 3D content in real-time. The software has been discontinued starting with 2009.
What are FLIF files?
FLIF (Free Lossless Image Format) is a royalty-free format launched at the end of 2015 as "work in progress" with the aim of offering a better alternative for storing lossless images than the existing PNG, WebP, BPG, JPEG2000 and JPEG XR. FLIF provides similar image quality as the other extensions, but in a file size than can be up to 74% smaller. The new format uses a form of the Adam7 algorithm for compressing images, offering progressive interlacing that allows users to obtain a reasonable encoding of an image even from a partial download.
