OCCT conversion workflows

ASE to glTF / GLB

Convert ASE to glTF / GLB. Prepare source geometry, select the target writer and verify placements and supported attributes.

Build this conversion into your application with OCCT readers, writers and the commercial components identified below.

Read ASE for glTF / GLB output

A ASE-to-glTF / GLB workflow connects the ASE reader to the glTF / GLB writer. Select the model items and output representation needed by the receiving application.

Read the ASE asset with the Assimp integration and inspect the supported mesh, material and scene-structure data. Select the objects intended for the output workflow.

Prepare a scene for glTF or GLB delivery

The Assimp integration provides mesh geometry, colors, materials and scene structure for its supported inputs. Pass that data to a separate OCCT or commercial writer. For STEP, STEP XML or DXF output, use the mesh-capable representation; this does not reconstruct BRep surfaces from polygons.

Map supported model items into glTF scene nodes and configure the mesh, placements and appearance for browser or application delivery. Decide whether the receiving workflow expects a GLB package or glTF with companion resources. Keep names useful for selection and inspection.

Check the glTF / GLB result

Validate object transforms and available material references. Keep the authoring source for scene details not represented by the imported mesh and material mapping.

Reopen the asset in the target viewer and compare orientation, bounds, assembly placement and visible surface quality. Check material mapping and resource paths. Measure loading cost together with geometric detail so that reducing mesh size does not silently remove required features.

Discuss this conversion with the producing and receiving applications, representative files and required geometry and attributes. Compare the reader/writer catalog when a different representation is needed.

Share the source and receiving applications, representative files, required attributes and throughput. We can scope SDK evaluation or an integrated conversion service.
