GEN to X3D Conversion
What are GEN files?
GEN is the General Information File of ARC Digitized Raster Graphics (ADRG), a military raster map format defined by the U.S. National Imagery and Mapping Agency, now the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), in the MIL-A-89007 specification. ADRG was designed around 1989 to provide a digitized map or chart background for mission planning, command and control, and cockpit display systems. A dataset consists of several files: the .gen file holds the descriptive information and the names of the image files, while the .img files hold the actual picture, which is a scanned paper map or chart. A transmittal header file with the .thf extension may also be present. The data are georeferenced with the ARC system, which divides the earth into 18 latitudinal zones, and are traditionally distributed on CD-ROM.
What are X3D files?
The X3D file format is an open standard file format used for 3D graphics and animation. It is based on the VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) format and is designed to be platform-independent, allowing for easy sharing and distribution of 3D models. X3D files can store information about geometry, textures, lighting, animation, and interactivity. The format is supported by a variety of 3D software applications and web browsers with the appropriate plugins or extensions.
Can reaConverter convert GEN to X3D?
Yes! reaConverter instantly converts .gen to .x3d with perfect quality preservation. With its batch processing feature, you can convert multiple files at once in just a few clicks. You can even convert images directly from Windows Explorer using the right-click menu — fast and convenient.
What is reaConverter used for?
reaConverter is a Windows converter for 800+ formats, GIS data among them.
