ASE File
The ASE (Autodesk Scene Export) file format is an ASCII format used to represent 3D Studio scenes. It stores data for scene meshes, model materials, and other standard 3D object properties. Our Autoconverter software and Automesher Application support the ASE file format, thanks to the open asset import library. However, it’s important to note that currently, they do not support saving and exporting to the ASE file format. If you require this feature and want to save your model into ASE file, please feel free to create a support request.
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.
