Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model VOX Files to WRL

Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or VOX (MagicaVoxel Scene) model files to a standard WRL (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) 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 VOX files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.

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

Description

The VOX file format is a 3D graphics format used to store Voxel-style 3D models in an efficient manner. VOX files are the native format of the MagicaVoxel game development tools, allowing the construction of complex scenes composed of Voxel graphics.

VOX files contain Voxel geometry and material/color information packaged in a size-efficient binary format. The MagicaVoxel suite of development tools can open VOX files along with other 3D modeling applications.

Description

The WRL file format is a 3D-based model format originally created in the 1990's that was aimed at website usage. The format is text-based and contains 3D geometry data such as vertices, faces, simple shapes, material information, and more.

This format, when launched, was hoped to become a standard 3D format; however, due to the large file sizes, it didn't see wide adoption, although it is a supported format within some CAD software applications. It was later superseded by the X3D file format, which shares most of the functionality of WRL files.

WRL Notes

WRL files support material and color information. If your uploaded model contains color information, our tool will attempt to save this in the WRL file at the end of the conversion process. Texture information is not supported at this time.

Supported Features

  • Mesh geometry
  • Mesh material colors
  • Vertex colors

Unsupported Features

  • Textures

How does it work?

Converting from the VOX file format to WRL can be a complex process, and any tool used for this conversion process needs to be able to handle a variety of data conversion tasks as well as identify any defects within the 3D model and fix them. Here we will explain the conversion process used by our tool to accurately convert your VOX file to a valid WRL 3D model. Let's start with the conversion process, which involves the following steps:

Step 1: Read the Source VOX File

In its simplest form, an VOX file is a binary data file containing 3D data such as vertices, faces, normals, and more. When combined, these make up the 3D model you see on your screen.

For more information regarding the VOX file format, please see this great article that goes into a lot of detail explaining the VOX format.

Step 2: Process File Data

With the VOX file data read, our tool generates an internal representation of the full 3D model and will attempt to fix any geometry issues encountered. Along with repairing any issues with the 3D model, the tool will remove any duplicated vertices and prepare the model for exporting to the WRL format.

Step 3: Saving to the WRL Format

With the conversion process entering its final stages, our tool now needs to take the in-memory 3D model we have created in step 2 and convert it to the WRL format.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my VOX file to WRL?

First click the "Upload..." button, select your VOX file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the VOX to WRL conversion has completed, you can download your WRL file straight away.

How long does it take to convert my VOX to WRL?

We aim to process all VOX to WRL 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 VOX to WRL 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 VOX to WRL on ImageToStl.com?

Yes, of course! We do not store the VOX file you submit to us. The resulting WRL 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 VOX to WRL converter?

No. All our conversion tools process your VOX 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 WRL file quickly.

Can I convert my VOX to WRL on Windows, Linux, Android, iOS or Mac OS?

Yes! Our VOX to WRL 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 VOX 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 VOX to WRL?

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