Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model PTX Files to OBJ

Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or PTX (Point Cloud) model files to a standard OBJ (Wavefront) file that can then be edited further in most popular 3D editing packages such as Blender or 3D printed without any further processing. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple PTX files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.

To convert your PTX file, click the Upload button above and select the file to convert. Once selected, the file will be converted to a OBJ file and will be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the PTX to OBJ conversion process, see the conversion information section below.

How to Convert your PTX to OBJ Online?

Here are two simple steps to convert your PTX to OBJ.

Upload a PTX

Click the "Upload a PTX File" button and select a PTX to upload. The maximum file size is 100MB.

Description

The PTX is a 3D file format used for representing 3D Point Clouds. The format contains only positional information (X, Y, and Z coordinates) for the individual points. The format is often used for digital elevation modeling of terrain for later processing in 3D modeling applications.

As the format only contains positional information, a common task is to convert this into a fully surfaced 3D model using methods such as Alpha Shapes or Delaunay Triangulation. The format can also be viewed without further processing in its raw format.

PTX Notes

The PTX file format was designed to store vertex information only to allow the construction of simple Point Cloud models.

Supported Features

  • Mesh vertex data

Description

The OBJ file format, originally created by Wavefront Technologies and later adopted by many other 3D software vendors, is a simple text-based file format for describing 3D models/geometry. This data can include vertices, faces, normals, texture coordinates, and references to external texture files.

As the format is text-based, it is relatively straightforward to parse in 3D modeling applications. A downside of the text-based format is that the files can be rather large compared to similar binary formats such as STL and compressed files such as 3MF.

OBJ Notes

Our tool will save any material and texture files separately; these additional files will be included with your final OBJ file at the time of download.

Supported Features

  • Mesh geometry
  • Materials (Via an MTL file)

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the OBJ file retain the textures from my PTX file?

Yes! If your PTX file contains textured geometry, the texture image files along with the texture coordinates (UV data) will be exported with the final OBJ file.

How long does it take to convert my PTX to OBJ?

We aim to process all PTX to OBJ conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.

How accurate is the PTX to OBJ conversion?

We aim to create the most accurate conversions with our tools. Our tools are under constant development with new features and improvements being added every week.

Is it safe to convert my PTX to OBJ on ImageToStl.com?

Yes, of course! We do not store the PTX file you submit to us. The resulting OBJ file, once created is deleted 15 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.

Do I need a high-spec. computer to use the PTX to OBJ converter?

No. All our conversion tools process your PTX file on our dedicated conversion servers, meaning you can use our tools on low-spec computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices and receive your converted OBJ file quickly.

Can I convert my PTX to OBJ on Windows, Linux, Android, iOS or Mac OS?

Yes! Our PTX to OBJ tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.

What if I am using an Ad Blocker, will that affect things?

Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our PTX conversion tool please consider white-listing our site. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits on some of our tools and processing/conversion times will be longer.

Can I get support with converting my PTX to OBJ?

Yes. When you have converted your PTX to OBJ, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
