Convert DAE to DRC via Python

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

How to Convert DAE to DRC Using Python

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

Aspose.3D for Python via .NET

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

NuGet

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

Command line
pip install aspose-3d

Steps to Convert DAE to DRC via Python

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

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

System Requirements

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

Microsoft Windows or Linux based OS.
Python 3.5 or later.
Aspose.3D for Python 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.

DAE What is DAE File Format?

A DAE file is a Digital Asset Exchange file format that is used for exchanging data between interactive 3D applications. This file format is based on the COLLADA (COLLAborative Design Activity) XML schema which is an open standard XML schema for the exchange of digital assets among graphics software applications. It has been adopted by ISO as a publicly available specification, ISO/pAS 17506.

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.

Other Supported Conversions

You can also convert DAE into many other file formats including few listed below.

DAE TO 3DS (3D Studio DOS Mesh)

DAE TO AMF (Additive Manufacturing Format)

DAE TO FBX (3D Format)

DAE TO HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language)

DAE TO OBJ (3D File Format)

DAE TO PDF (Portable Document Format)

DAE TO PLY (Polygon File Format)

DAE TO RVM (AVEVA Plant Design Model)

DAE TO STL (Interchangeable 3D Surface Geometry)

DAE TO U3D (Universal 3D)
