Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model WRL Files to Blender

Our free and fast tool will convert your 3D WRL (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) model files to a standard Blender file that can then be edited further in most popular 3D editing packages or 3D printed without any further processing. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple WRL files; up to 200 files at a time can be converted.

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

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 It was later superseded by the X3D file format, which shares most of the functionality of WRL files.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

If your WRL file contains textures, these will be ignored. If a material contains color information, this will be translated where possible.

Supported Features

  • Mesh geometry
  • Mesh material colors
  • Vertex colors

Description

The BLEND file type is the native 3D graphics file format of the 3D modeling application Blender. Originally released in 1994, Blender has grown over the years and is one of the most popular 3D applications available.

BLEND files store 3D content such as 3D geometry, vertices, faces, normals, animations, materials, and much more. Blender is free and open-source, contains many features you would expect in a high-end 3D editing application, and is available for most current operating systems.

Blender Notes

If your original model file contains texture images and other texture-related data, these will be included in the final BLEND file.

Supported Features

  • Mesh geometry
  • Materials
  • Textures

How does it work?

Converting from the WRL file format to Blender 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 WRL file to a valid Blender 3D model. Let's start with the conversion process, which involves the following steps:

Step 1: Read the Source WRL File

In its simplest form, an WRL file is a plain text file containing human-readable 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 WRL file format, please see this great article that goes into a lot of detail explaining the WRL format.

Step 2: Process File Data

With the WRL 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 Blender format.

Step 3: Saving to the Blender 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 Blender format.

Frequently Asked Questions

What version of Blender will the file be saved as?

Our tool will save all Blender files that can be opened with version [z] of Blender.

How does ImageToStl.com differ from other WRL file conversion websites?

Many 3D file conversion websites use the same off-the-shelf components to convert files, these often lack features and full WRL file compatibility. Our bespoke file conversion tools offer full WRL file compatibility and have been developed in-house by a team of developers, some of whom have over 30 years of experience working with 3D graphics file formats, meaning our tools will convert your WRL file quickly and accurately with maximum compatibility.

I have several WRL files; can I batch convert my WRL to Blender?

Yes! Our WRL tool supports full batch conversions. You can upload up to 200 WRL files at a time. Our tool will convert them all as quickly as possible. Once completed, you can either download the Blender files individually or download them all in a single ZIP file.

How can I convert my WRL file to Blender?

First click the "Upload..." button, and select your WRL file to upload. You can also drag and drop your file onto the tool. Once your file is selected, you can set any configuration options. When the WRL to Blender conversion has completed, you can download your Blender file straight away.

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

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

Yes, of course! We do not store the WRL file you submit to us. The resulting Blender file, once created, is stored for 4 hours after upload; after this time it is deleted, and the short-term download link will stop working. You can create a long-term download Url with most tools that will ensure the file is retained for 24 hours, allowing you to download the file when convenient. Our tools also come with a Delete button, allowing you to delete the file immediately.

Do I need a high-spec. computer to use the WRL to Blender converter?

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

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

Yes! Our WRL to Blender 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 WRL conversion tool please consider white-listing our website. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits and some settings may not be available when using our tools. Processing/conversion and download times will also be longer.

Can I get support with converting my WRL to Blender?

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