Convert COLLADA to GLTF 1.0 for free

COLLADA is an XML-based digital asset exchange solution for interactive 3D applications, allowing 3D creation applications to freely exchange digital assets without losing information - enabling a powerful toolchain pipeline combining multiple DCC and 3D processing software packages. Its unique interactive mode provides a comprehensive visual compilation. COLLADA FX supports the creation and encapsulation of shaders using OpenGL ES shading language, enabling first-class 3D creation tools to effectively collaborate in creating OpenGL / OpenGL ES applications and assets.

COLLADA is an open standard, originally used for 3D software data exchange, initiated by SCEA, and now supported by many well-known manufacturers such as Autodesk and XSI. COLLADA can be used not only for exchanging data between modeling tools, but also as a scene description language for small-scale real-time rendering. Because COLLADA DOM has rich content for representing various elements in the scene, from polygonal geometry to cameras, we can use the COLLADA DOM library to read and process scene files. The programming method of COLLADA DOM is similar to COM.

glTF (GL Transmission Format) is a 3D file format that stores 3D model information in JSON format. The use of JSON minimizes the size of 3D assets and the runtime processing required to decompress and use these assets. It is used by applications for efficient transmission and loading of 3D scenes and models. glTF was developed by the Khronos Group 3D Format Working Group and is also described by its creators as the JPEG of 3D.

The glTF file format defines a scalable, universal publishing format for 3D content tools and services, simplifying the creative workflow and enabling interoperable use of content across industries. The purpose of creating the glTF file format is to define a scalable, universal publishing format for 3D content tools and services, simplifying the creative workflow and enabling interoperable use of content across industries. It minimizes the runtime processing required by applications using WebGL and other APIs.
