- A Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) file is a standard file format used for representing 3D interactive vector graphics, designed particularly for the world wide web. With the extension .wrl or sometimes .vrml, these files allow for the creation and sharing of virtual reality environments that users can navigate and interact with online. VRML files support features such as 3D shapes, textures, animations, and user interactivity, making them suitable for a wide range of applications such as gaming and simulations.
- USD is a file format used for 3D models and scenes. It is an open-source format developed by Pixar, and it is designed to be used in combination with their Universal Scene Description (USD) technology. USD files store 3D geometry, materials, lighting, and other scene data, and they can be used to exchange 3D content between different 3D applications and pipelines.
