3DS 3D Studio File

A widely recognized format used for storing polygonal mesh models. It has gained popularity due to its extensive feature set and compatibility with various software, such as:

  • Extensive Support: The 3DS format supports a variety of features including model names, reusable geometry component instances, materials with transparent colors, and texture images.
  • Compatibility: You can import and export 3DS models to and from many software applications, such as DIALux, which is used for lighting design.
  • Legacy Constraints: Due to its legacy constraints, 3DS model names are limited to 8 characters. Additionally, a single 3DS mesh object can only contain up to 32,767 triangles.

3DS File Converters: To overcome legacy limitations and convert any mesh into 3DS format, you can use our Autoconverter and Automesher Application. They will automatically split your models into smaller shells to accommodate the triangles limit, and convert them to the 3DS format.


JPG Joint Photographic Experts Group Image

This file format is a widely used method for compressing digital images, particularly photographs and other images with continuous color variations. Unlike BMP, which stores every pixel without modification, JPEG uses a lossy compression technique that discards some data to achieve smaller file sizes. Here's a breakdown of the key characteristics of JPEG:

  • Smaller File Sizes: JPEG compression significantly reduces file size compared to BMP, making it efficient for storage, transmission, and web sharing.
  • Adjustable Compression: You can control the level of compression, allowing a trade-off between file size and image quality based on your needs.
  • Good Visual Quality: While discarding some data, JPEG often maintains visually acceptable image quality for most photos and web graphics.
  • Lossy Compression: Discarded data cannot be recovered, leading to potential loss of image detail and quality, especially in areas with high-frequency information like sharp edges or textures.

JPEG to 3D Converters: You can work with JPEG images and various 3D formats with our Autoconverter and Automesher Application tools. These converters can convert JPEG images into 3D formats like STL, DWG, SKP, 3MF, and others. These tools also work with other popular image formats.
