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. Transform legacy ASE files into modern FBX/USD formats with our professional ASE converters today!

U3D Universal 3D File

An open standard for 3D data exchange, originally developed by the 3D Industry Forum to enable universal 3D visualization across platforms. As a compressed, binary file format, U3D efficiently stores three-dimensional triangular meshes along with additional properties such as color, transparency, or texture coordinates.

Key Features of U3D

  • Open Standard:

    Royalty-free format maintained by ECMA International (Standard ECMA-363).

  • PDF Integration:

    U3D enables the generation of PDF documents that contain interactive 3D data (ISO 32000). This means that you can view, rotate, zoom, and manipulate 3D models within a PDF document.

  • Compact Size:

    Optimized compression for web and document embedding.

  • Cross-Platform:

    Viewable across major operating systems without proprietary software.

U3D File Conversion

Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application utilize Intel's powerful open-source IFX conversion library to deliver robust U3D file conversion capabilities. This technology enables seamless two-way conversion between the U3D format and various industry-standard 3D formats including STL, OBJ, SKP, DAE, STEP, IGES, DWG, 3DS, FBX and X3D. The solution provides reliable transformation of 3D data while maintaining optimal file structure and visual fidelity throughout the conversion process.
