Extract Assets from U3D via Java
Extract Assets from U3D using Java library without any 3D modeling software.
How to Extract Assets from U3D File Using Java
In order to extract assets from U3D file, we’ll use
API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use API for Java platform. You can download its latest version directly from
and install it within your Maven-based project by adding the following configurations to the pom.xml.

Steps to Extract Assets from U3D via Java
Java programmers can easily extract assets from U3D in just a few lines of code.
- Load U3D file via the constructor of Scene class
- Create zip file format object as output file format
- Create archive class and handle extract asset class
- Call the Extract method and save the file
System Requirements
Aspose.3D for JAVA is supported on all major operating systems. Just make sure that you have the following prerequisites.
- Microsoft Windows or a compatible OS with Java Runtime Environment for JSP/JSF Application and Desktop Applications.
- Get latest version of Aspose.3D for Java directly from Maven.

Java 3D Scene Manipulation Library
Aspose.3D is a CAD and Gameware API to load, modify and convert 3D files. API is a standalone and does not require any any 3D modeling or rendering software. One can easily use API for Discreet3DS, WavefrontOBJ, STL (ASCII, Binary), Universal3D, FBX (ASCII, Binary), Collada, glTF, PLY, GLB, DirectX and more formats.U3D What is U3D File Format?
U3D (Universal 3D) is a compressed file format and data structure for 3D computer graphics. It contains 3D model information such as triangle meshes, lighting, shading, motion data, lines and points with color and structure. The format was accepted as ECMA-363 standard in August 2005. 3D PDF documents support U3D objects embedding and can be viewed in Adobe Reader (version 7 and onwards).
