Quality reduction ahead
FBX is lossless, meaning every bit of data is preserved. JPG uses lossy compression — some data is permanently discarded to reduce file size. At high quality settings the difference is usually imperceptible, but the original data cannot be recovered.
Some metadata may not survive
Your FBX file may contain FBX properties metadata. JPG has limited or no support for these metadata types. Location data (GPS), camera settings, and color profiles may be stripped during conversion.
What compression artifacts to expect
JPG lossy compression can produce blockiness and mosquito noise around sharp edges. At the high quality settings CocoConvert uses by default, these are usually invisible to the eye. Lower quality settings trade visual fidelity for smaller file sizes.
3Dモデルのデータを、誰でも開ける画像として残したい場面は意外と多い。設計途中のチェック用に、あるいはクライアントへの確認資料として、FBXファイルをそのまま送りつけるわけにもいかない。JPGに変換すれば、専用ソフトがない相手にもパッと見せられるし、メールに添付するにも都合がいい。難しい操作は一切不要で、手元のFBXファイルをアップロードするだけで変換が完了する。3Dの世界で作ったものを、もっと気軽に共有してほしい。
- アニメ・ゲーム制作でのキャラクターモデルの確認用サムネイル作成
- 建築・インテリアの提案書に添付する3Dパース画像の書き出し
- 同人誌や商業マンガの背景素材として使う3Dモデルのプレビュー保存
日本のゲーム・アニメ業界ではMayaやBlenderからエクスポートしたFBXファイルをチーム内で共有する機会が多く、縦書きレイアウトの印刷物や同人誌に貼り込む際にもJPGへの変換が手軽な中間工程として定着しつつある。
