¿Qué es un archivo OFF?

OFF (Object File Format) is a minimal ASCII format for polygon meshes. An OFF file starts with the keyword OFF, followed by counts of vertices, faces, and edges, then vertex coordinates, and finally faces. Optional variants COFF and NOFF add per-vertex color and normals. OFF was popularized by the Princeton Shape Benchmark and Geomview.

Usos comunes de los archivos OFF

Computational Geometry Research

Academic geometry processing libraries (CGAL, libigl, OpenMesh) use OFF as a common test format. Princeton Shape Benchmark datasets are distributed as OFF.

Geometry Processing Pipelines

OFF is used in mesh processing pipelines where a simple, human-readable format is preferred.

Geomview Visualization

Geomview, the interactive 3D viewer from the Geometry Center, uses OFF as its native format.

Compatibilidad de software

MeshLab, Geomview, CGAL, libigl, OpenMesh, Blender (via import plugin) and 3D CAD Converter.

Convertir este formato

Commonly converted to STL for 3D printing, to OBJ for rendering, or to PLY for datasets requiring per-vertex attributes.
