The NVIDIA Scene Graph binary file (NBF) is a proprietary 3D data format developed by NVIDIA Corporation for its high-performance scene graph programming interface. It serves as a persistence format for complex three-dimensional scenes, enabling efficient loading and rendering within professional visualization, computer-aided design, and simulation environments. Although largely superseded by newer technologies like the SceniX engine, the format remains relevant for legacy data compatibility and carries minimal security risk as a non-executable binary.

Validation Code

How to validate .nbf files in Python

Python
def is_nbf(file_path: str) -> bool:
    """Check if file is a valid NBF by magic bytes."""
    signature = bytes([0x23, 0x50, 0x45, 0x43, 0x30, 0x30, 0x30, 0x31, 0x4C, 0x41, 0x3A])
    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
        return f.read(11) == signature

How to validate .nbf files in Node.js

Node.js
function isNBF(buffer: Buffer): boolean {
  const signature = Buffer.from([0x23, 0x50, 0x45, 0x43, 0x30, 0x30, 0x30, 0x31, 0x4C, 0x41, 0x3A]);
  return buffer.subarray(0, 11).equals(signature);
}
Go
func IsNBF(data []byte) bool {
    signature := []byte{0x23, 0x50, 0x45, 0x43, 0x30, 0x30, 0x30, 0x31, 0x4C, 0x41, 0x3A}
    if len(data) < 11 {
        return false
    }
    return bytes.Equal(data[:11], signature)
}
