FAQ
PK3 to OBJ Conversion
What are PK3 files?
The PK3 format is associated with several video games created with the Quake 3 Arena game software framework (also known as id Tech 3). PK3 files are in fact renamed ZIP archive files that contain several types of game data, defining maps, models, sounds, textures or weapons, among others. PK3 is a predecessor of the PK4 format, used by games developed with the id Tech 4 engine.
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.
