FAQ
OBJ to PPM Conversion
What are OBJ files?
OBJ is a 3D model format associated with Advanced Visualizer, a software suite developed by Wavefront Technologies. OBJ files contain geometry definitions of 3D models, including coordinates for each angular point, UV mapping data, texture information and details describing the faces of each polygon. Due to its frequent use, the OBJ format has been borrowed by other 3D graphics applications as well, and is currently seen as an industry standard.
What are PPM files?
PPM or Portable Pixelmap files are image files included in Netpbm, an open source graphics program. The other widely used Netpbm formats are PGM (Portable Graymap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap). All three are image formats and are sometimes called collectively PNMs (Portable Anymap format). While PGMs contains grayscale images, PPMs include color images and they represent intermediary files used in the conversion of less known formats using the Portable Bitmap Utilities. PPM files are mostly operated on UNIX and Intel-based platforms.
