SH3D File Converter

The SH3D File Converter translates SH3D scene files into widely supported 3D formats such as OBJ, STL, GLTF/GLB, and FBX. It preserves geometry, material references, and textures where possible, enabling downstream software compatibility for visualization, rendering, and 3D printing. The tool targets architects, product designers, game artists, and BIM technicians who exchange SH3D data with other software. When a project requires interoperability or archival export, this tool provides deterministic translation.
Conceptually, the converter parses the SH3D scene graph, extracts meshes, materials, textures, and lights, normalizes coordinates and units, and exports to the chosen format using standard exporters. It supports single file conversion and batch processing, with options to triangulate geometry, embed textures, and scale output to match a target unit system.
Unique value lies in SH3D-aware handling that minimizes data loss during format translation, preserves material assignments, and offers optional unit scaling. It integrates into asset pipelines for CAD/BIM workflows and game/visualization pipelines, reducing manual rework and re-exports.
Core features include source SH3D input, multiple output formats, batch queue, optional triangulation, texture embedding, and unit scaling. Common use cases include converting SH3D rooms to GLTF for web visualization, exporting models to STL for 3D printing, or translating to OBJ for CAD interoperability.
