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!


DAE DAE File Format (COLLADA) - 3D Model Exchange Standard

DAE (Digital Asset Exchange) is a widely supported, XML-based 3D file format designed for seamless interoperability between digital content creation tools. Developed by Sony and maintained by the Khronos Group, the COLLADA standard enables the efficient exchange of complex 3D assets - including mesh geometries, materials, skeletons, and animation data—across different software platforms.

Key Features of DAE/COLLADA Files

  • Reusable Geometry: Enables multiple objects to reference the same geometry instance, minimizing file size and improving performance.
  • Multi-Texture Support: Supports advanced material properties with multiple texture images and coordinate sets for each mesh face.
  • Opacity and Object Grouping: Allows control over transparency and organizes objects into named groups for easier scene editing and manipulation.

Convert DAE Files to Other 3D Formats

With Autoconverter and Autoshaper, you can accurately convert DAE (COLLADA) files to other popular 3D formats such as STL, OBJ, SKP, DWG, 3MF, and more. These tools use the open-source OpenCOLLADA framework to ensure full support for both COLLADA 1.4 and 1.5 specifications. Preserve animations, materials, and scene hierarchy with reliable conversion powered by OpenCOLLADA.

Streamline your 3D pipeline with powerful DAE file conversion tools - ideal for game developers, animators, and CAD professionals working across platforms.
