Lynda – Introduction to File Formats for 3D and Visualization

Course details
3D and visualization projects use a wide variety of different file types. So how do you know which file formats to use, and when? In this course 3D animation expert George Maestri walks through the pros and cons of each of the major 2D and 3D formats. George starts off with some 2D formats that are used for bitmaps and textures, and then moves on to 3D formats, detailing what types of files can store what types of data. He also covers how the different file types can work to interchange, save, and transfer data between multiple software packages. If you’re looking to add another dimension to your understanding of 2D and 3D file formats, join George in this course.
