Convert DRC to OBJ via C#

Render DRC as OBJ without any 3D modeling and rendering software.

How to Convert DRC to OBJ Using C#

In order to convert DRC to OBJ, we’ll use

Aspose.3D for .NET

API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use document manipulation and conversion API for C# platform. Open

NuGet

package manager, search for Aspose.3D and install. You may also use the following command from the Package Manager Console.

Package Manager Console Command
PM> Install-Package Aspose.3D

Steps to Convert DRC to OBJ via C#

.NET programmers can easily load & convert DRC files to OBJ in just a few lines of code.

Load DRC file via the constructor of Scene class
Create an instance of AmfSaveOptions
Set OBJ specific properties for advanced conversion
Call the Scene.Save method
Pass the output path with OBJ file extension & object of ObjSaveOptions
Check resultant OBJ file at specified path

System Requirements

Before running the .NET conversion code, make sure that you have the following prerequisites.

Microsoft Windows or a compatible OS with .NET Framework, .NET Core, Mono.
Development environment like Microsoft Visual Studio.
Aspose.3D for .NET DLL referenced in your project.

A 3D File Processing Library to manipulate 3D files without any modeling and rendering software. The 3D API supports Discreet3DS, WavefrontOBJ, FBX (ASCII, Binary), STL (ASCII, Binary), Universal3D, Collada, glTF, GLB, PLY, DirectX, Google Draco file formats and more. Developers can create, read, convert, modify and control the substance of 3D document formats easily.

DRC What is DRC File Format?

A file with .drc extension is a compressed 3D file format created with Google Draco library. Google offers Draco as open source library for compressing and decompressing 3D geometric meshes and point clouds, and improves storage and transmission of 3D graphics. It encodes the input data and saves it as .drc file. At the receiving end, the API reads .drc files and can output these as PLY or OBJ files. The compressed output file enables users to download apps faster and provide quick loading of 3D graphics in browsers.

obj What is obj File Format?

OBJ files are used by Wavefront's Advanced Visualizer application to define and store the geometric objects. Backward and forward transmission of geometric data is made possible through OBJ files. Both polygonal geometry like points, lines, texture vertices, faces and free-form geometry (curves and surfaces) are supported by OBJ format. This format does not support animation or information related to light and position of scenes. An OBJ file is usually an end product of the 3D modeling process generated by a CAD (Computer Aided Design). The default order to store vertices is counter-clockwise avoiding explicit declaration of face normals. Though OBJ files declare scale information in a comment line yet no units have been declared for OBJ coordinates.
