3DS File
The 3DS (3D Studio) is a widely recognized format used for storing polygonal mesh models. It supports additional features such as model names, reusable geometry component instances, materials with transparent colors, and texture images. However, due to legacy constraints, 3DS model names are limited to 8 characters, and a single 3DS mesh object can only contain up to 32,767 triangles. As a result, when exporting to the 3DS file format, larger meshes must be divided into smaller shells. Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application 3DS file converters simplify this process, allowing you to effortlessly convert any 3D model into the 3DS format. This makes it easy to import your model into DIALux lighting software, which also supports 3DS file extension.
DWG Drawing
The DWG (AutoCAD Drawing) binary file format, developed by Autodesk for AutoCAD, is also supported by other software packages such as ZWCAD, BricsCAD, and IntelliCAD. As a result, DWG files have become the industry standard in CAD. Our add-ons, Automesher Application and Automapki Application, for your DWG editor, enable you to effortlessly convert DWG drawing entities into various 3D and GIS file formats. This facilitates seamless sharing of your AutoCAD designs across different platforms and applications.
