3DS 3D Studio File

A widely recognized format used for storing 3D polygonal mesh models, originally developed for Autodesk 3D Studio. Known for its broad compatibility and straightforward structure, it remains a popular choice for real-time visualization, gaming, architectural modeling, and lighting design despite its legacy limitations.

Key Features & Capabilities

  • Extensive Support:

    The 3DS format supports model naming conventions, reusable geometry instances, and material definitions including transparent colors and texture mapping. Its hierarchical structure preserves object relationships and basic animation data.

  • High Compatibility:

    3DS files work with most major 3D software including DIALux for lighting design, Blender, Cinema 4D, and game engines like Unity. This makes it ideal for cross-platform asset sharing.

  • Technical Limitations:

    Due to its DOS-era origins, the format has strict constraints: mesh names are limited to 8 characters, and each mesh object can contain no more than 32,767 triangles. The format also lacks support for modern features like PBR materials or NURBS surfaces.

3DS File Converters

Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application automatically resolve legacy 3DS format constraints by intelligently partitioning large models into compliant, optimized sub-meshes. This ensures your 3D assets maintain integrity when exported to the 3DS format. While newer formats offer more features, 3DS remains valuable for legacy systems, lighting simulations, and situations requiring broad software support without complex dependencies.

BMP Windows Bitmap Image

This file format is a type of image file designed for storing digital images on Windows systems. It's known for its simple structure, universal compatibility, and ability to maintain pixel-perfect accuracy, but also for its lack of compression and advanced features.

Key Features of BMP

  • Uncompressed Accuracy:

    BMP files preserve every pixel which make them ideal for medical imaging, scientific data visualization, and applications requiring pixel-level precision.

  • Simple Structure:

    Straightforward structure makes BMP files readily editable in basic image editing programs. Longstanding format ensures compatibility with a vast range of computer software and systems.

  • Large File Sizes:

    Uncompressed nature leads to bigger BMP files, impacting storage efficiency and potentially slowing down web loading.
