ASE Autodesk Scene Export File

Developed by Autodesk for 3D Studio, the ASCII based ASE format stores comprehensive 3D scene data, including polygonal meshes, material definitions, animation keys, and lighting parameters. As a human-readable text format, it enables manual editing while maintaining compatibility with legacy 3D workflows.

Key Features of ASE

  • Material Data Storage:

    ASE files store material information including colors, textures, and shaders used in 3D scenes.

  • Hierarchical Scene Structure:

    ASE supports parent-child relationships between objects for organizing complex 3D scenes.

  • Transform and Pivot Data:

    Object transformations like position, rotation, scale, and pivot points are stored.

  • No Binary Compression:

    Being text-based, ASE files do not include any binary compression, which makes them larger in size.

ASE File Conversion

Autoconverter and Automesher Application leverage the cross-platform open asset import library to seamlessly read, import, and convert ASE files into a variety of 3D formats—including OFF, PLY, 3DM, and SKP - while preserving critical data such as textures, colors, and UV coordinates. This ensures accurate transitions from legacy 3D Studio scenes to modern workflows without losing essential visual or structural details.

PLY Polygon File

A a simple and flexible file format to store 3D mesh data. It supports vertices, faces (triangles/polygons), colors, normals, and custom properties. PLY is also known as the Stanford Triangle Format as it was developed at Stanford University in the early 1990s. It still remains a popular choice for storing 3D geometry.

Key Features of PLY

  • Flexible Structure:

    Supports vertices, faces (triangles/polygons), edges, and custom data.

  • Properties:

    Can store RGB colors, normals, texture coordinates, transparency, and user-defined attributes.

  • ASCII & Binary Formats:

    PLY files can be saved in ASCII (readable) or binary (compact) form.

PLY File Conversion

Autoconverter is the best tool for converting PLY files because it handles all major 3D formats (STL, OBJ, FBX, STEP, etc.) while preserving colors, textures, and mesh accuracy. It offers fast batch conversions, an easy drag-and-drop interface, and works seamlessly across CAD, 3D scanning, and game development workflows.
