COB to PIC Conversion
What are COB files?
COB is a 3D graphics format associated with TrueSpace, a program initially developed by Caligari Corporation, acquired by Microsoft in the late 2000s. TrueSpace had several releases and delivered 3D rendering, modeling and animation features, with its latest edition featuring the possibility of several users to connect via broadband internet and contribute to shared 3D content in real-time. The software has been discontinued starting with 2009.
What are PIC files?
The PIC file format was first associated with PC Paint and later on with its developed version, Pictor Paint. It was one of the first formats accepted as a standard under the DOS platform, and it was developed by John Bridges. PIC files represent raster images, which can use an up to 24-bit color range. The advanced versions of PC Paint and Pictor Paint support image compression and the PIC files created using these programs are device-independent.
