I know most of the 3D file types used in VR but I could be missing out on some that are more commonly used and would like to see what others are using. Also any ideas on what file types relating to sound tracks including more than 2 channels? Would like to see any suggested file type used for any VR application. This is for a geography project that would include multiple scientific data sets.
In addition to the obvious (obj, fbx, wav, jpeg, png, etc) there are some uniquely VR formats.
Point cloud data ( ASCII (TXT, XYZ, PTS) and LAS ).
Volumetric video VFF, 3DZ, VMF, 4DS, UVF, etc
As for the audio fmod or wwise will be your most useful tools to mix spatial audio with multiple tracks in VR.
In the end these all boil down to your choice of capture technology. But the basic obj fbx wav files will probably be used in all projects.
We use the already textured 3D-Data by3D-Max with the Datasmith-Plugin to work with the data in the Unreal Engine
