File Extension | AC |
Full Name | AC3D Geometry Format |
Files with the AC extension are mainly associated with 3D modeling software mainly for games and simulation programs called AC3D. AC is a text file that stores a complete set of information about a model made in AC3D. These include data such as textures, model surface attributes, model geometry, etc.
File Extension | DAE |
Full Name | Collada 3D Digital Asset Format |
File with a .DAE extension contains a 3D image stored in a format based on the XML COLLADA – COLLAborative Design Activity. Such files are utilised for the purpose of inter-platform exchange of digital data, they are used by many different programs.
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "AC") to another (referred to as "DAE"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, AC file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format AC to format DAE becomes essential.
So, how can we perform AC to DAE file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format AC and transforming it into format DAE. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of AC to DAE converters.
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of AC to DAE. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the AC file:
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
