FEATHER to OBJ Conversion
What are FEATHER files?
FEATHER is a fast, portable file format for tables of data, created in 2016 by Wes McKinney and Hadley Wickham so that data frames could be passed quickly between Python and R, two languages widely used in data analysis. Today the main version of Feather is simply the Apache Arrow file format, saved to disk, with optional compression that makes files smaller without slowing down reading. A table is stored column by column, which suits analysis of large data sets. When a column holds geometries such as points, lines, or polygons, the file follows the GeoArrow specification and carries their coordinate system. The Arrow project now recommends the .arrow extension for such files, but .feather is still very common.
What are OBJ files?
OBJ is a 3D model format created by Wavefront Technologies for its Advanced Visualizer software and now supported by almost every 3D application, which makes it one of the most common formats for exchanging models. A file of this type is plain text that describes the shape of an object: the coordinates of its vertices, the texture coordinates used for UV mapping, the surface normals, and the faces that join them into polygons. Named groups divide a model into separate parts. Colors and materials are not stored in the file itself but in a separate .mtl file that it refers to, with the texture images kept alongside. The format holds a static model only, with no animation, bones, or lights.
