Universal Scene Description
Developed by Pixar, is a robust framework for the interchange and collaborative editing of 3D graphics data. It has become essential in the computer graphics industry due to its comprehensive ecosystem that supports large-scale projects.
- Modularity and Composability: Manage complex USD scenes by composing separate files, allowing different teams to work simultaneously. This enhances collaboration and reduces the risk of conflicts, enabling efficient workflow management in large projects.
- Cross-Platform/Application: Ensures USD data fidelity across different software and platforms, facilitating seamless collaboration in diverse environments. This interoperability reduces the need for data conversion and minimizes errors during transfers.
- Hierarchical Structure: USD files Organize data intuitively, making navigation and manipulation of complex scenes straightforward. This structure simplifies the management of intricate details and relationships within a scene.
USD File Converters: Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application software utilize the best-in-class OpenUSD framework for handling USD, USDA, USDC, and USDZ files, ensuring seamless and efficient management of 3D data. With OpenUSD's robust features and unparalleled performance, Autoconverter guarantees high-quality conversion, interoperability across platforms, and streamlined workflows for all your 3D content needs.
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.
