Technical note

How DDS and GLB differ in practice

DDS is made of pixels, so the conversion works in two steps: the image is first traced into vector outlines, and those outlines are then extruded to the height you set. The result is real geometry rather than a picture wrapped in a 3D file. Outline tracing is the mode to use here, because it returns closed shapes, and only a closed shape has an area to lift. How good the result is depends almost entirely on the DDS going in. Clean line art, a logo or a drawing scanned at 300 dpi or more traces into geometry you can work with. A photograph does not: continuous tone has no contours to follow, so tracing it produces thousands of tiny shapes and a file nobody can edit. Scan or export at the highest resolution available, and prefer a lossless original, because compression artefacts along an edge become ripples in the traced path.

3D Workflow

From picture to 3D model

reaConverter traces DDS images into outlines and extrudes them into GLB models, so a logo or a sketch becomes a 3D part in one run.

  • Each image is vectorized first, then extruded to the height you set in millimetres
  • Works best with logos, signs and line art: a photo has no clean outlines to follow
  • Script the job from the command line for pipelines and scheduled runs
  • Tune the tracing precision so the edges follow the original

FAQ

DDS to GLB Conversion

What are DDS files?

DDS (DirectDraw Surface) is an image file format that usually contains texture data, cubic environment maps or other type of data compressed using the S3TC (S3 Texture Compression) algorithm. The DDS format was first associated with Microsoft's DirectX 7.0 and later on with DirectDraw, a tool for accelerating the rendering of graphics in various applications. DDS is a container file and can be decompressed using a graphics processing unit (GPU).

What are GLB files?

GLB is a binary file format, which contains 3D models saved in GL Transmission Format, and is a standardized format to share 3D data. GLB format can be used for free and is mostly used in science and engineering for doing complex analyses of landscape and 3D modelling. A GLB format is supported by all major 3D modeling programs.
