Technical note

Before you convert TGA to STEP

TGA 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 TGA 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

Need a 3D STEP from a flat TGA image? reaConverter vectorizes it, extrudes the shapes to the height you set, and works through a whole folder at once.

  • 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
  • Keep unreleased designs and client models on your PC: nothing is uploaded
  • Script the job from the command line for pipelines and scheduled runs

reaConverter has been a huge time-saver for our team. We regularly work with CAD models in STEP format, and converting them to images or other file types used to be a hassle. With reaConverter, the process is fast, accurate, and incredibly easy to set up. The batch conversion feature is especially useful when handling large projects. Highly recommended for anyone dealing with STEP files on a regular basis.

FAQ

TGA to STEP Conversion

What are TGA files?

The TGA (Truevision Graphics Adapter) format, also known as Truevision TGA or TARGA, is a bitmap file containing raster graphics and was initially associated with TARGA and VISTA boards. TGA files can be used on DOS, Windows and Mac OS X platforms for storing and transferring deep-pixel images. They support a color range of up to 24 bits and an 8-bit alpha channel. TGA files are associated with graphic adapters that can capture NTSC and/or PAL video images signals, and they are particularly popular in the domain of still-video editing.

What are STEP files?

STEP file contains Standard for the Exchange of Product Data (ISO 10303). STEP format is a widely used by popular CAD software.
