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 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.

PNG Portable Network Graphics Image

It's a type of raster image file format that uses lossless compression. This means that the image quality is preserved even when the file size is reduced. PNG files also support transparency, which allows images to have irregular shapes or backgrounds that blend with the web page. However, PNG files do not support animation, unlike GIF files. Here are some of the key features and benefits of PNG:

  • Efficient Storage: PNG offers smaller file sizes compared to uncompressed formats like BMP, leading to faster website loading times.
  • Lossless Compression: PNG files use a compression technique that preserves the image quality and details, even when the file size is reduced.
  • Diverse Imagery: PNG files are ideal for images that have sharp edges and large solid colors, such as text, line art, and logos. JPEG files tend to produce visual artifacts and blur the edges of such images.

PNG to 3D Converters: Multiple image formats, including PNG, are compatible with our Autoconverter and Automesher Application tools. These converters allow you to import, export, and convert PNG images to different 3D formats, such as STL, 3DS, FBX, 3DM, and many others.
