Convert DAE to GLTF via Python
Render DAE as GLTF without any 3D modeling and rendering software.
Aspose.3D for Python via .NET
Overview
How to Convert DAE to GLTF Using Python
In order to convert DAE to GLTF, we’ll use
API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use document manipulation and conversion API for Python. Open
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 GLTF via Python
Python programmers can easily load & convert DAE files to GLTF in just a few lines of code.
- Load DAE file via the from_file of Scene class
- Create an instance of AmfSaveOptions
- Set GLTF specific properties for advanced conversion
- Call the Scene.save method
- Pass the output path with GLTF file extension & object of GltfSaveOptions
- Check resultant GLTF 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.
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.

glTF (GL Transmission Format) is a 3D file format that stores 3D model information in JSON format. The use of JSON minimizes both the size of 3D assets and the runtime processing needed to unpack and use those assets. It was adopted for the efficient transmission and loading of 3D scenes and models by applications. glTF was developed by the Khronos Group 3D Formats Working Group and is also described as JPEG of 3D by its creators. The format defines an extensible, common publishing format for 3D content tools and services that streamlines authoring workflows and enables interoperable use of content across the industry. The intention behind the creation of glTF file format was to define an extensible, common publishing format for 3D content tools and services that should streamline authoring workflows and enable interoperable use of content across the industry. It minimizes runtime processing by applications using WebGL and other APIs.
