How to Convert ASE to DAEConverting ASE to DAE has never been easier - just follow this quick guide:
📥 Install Autoconverter
Download and install Autoconverter on your system. Launch the software to convert ASE files to DAE format.
📂 Import ASE File
Click Open... to load your ASE (.ase, .ask) file, or drag and drop it into the application window.
💾 Export to DAE Format
Use Save As... to export your file to the DAE mesh file format (*.dae).

Autodesk Scene Export (ASE) File Format
The ASE file format (Autodesk Scene Export) is a text-based 3D file format developed by Autodesk for 3D Studio. As an ASCII format, ASE files contain complete 3D scene descriptions, including polygon meshes, materials, textures, lights, and animation data. This human-readable format offers easy manual editing and is ideal for legacy workflows and interoperability across older 3D software platforms.
Key Features of ASE Files
- Material and Texture Support: Stores full material definitions including textures, shaders, colors, and surface properties.
- Scene Hierarchy: Supports object nesting and parent-child relationships for complex scene management.
- Animation & Transforms: Includes keyframe data, rotation, translation, scale, and pivot information.
- Text-Based Format: Fully editable ASCII structure with no binary compression, making it accessible and readable.
ASE File Conversion Tools
Convert ASE files with Autoconverter and Automesher Application. These tools offer reliable import and export of ASE scenes to modern 3D file formats such as FBX, USD, OBJ, SKP, OFF, PLY, and 3DM. Using the open-source Asset Import Library, our ASE converters preserve materials, geometry, and scene hierarchies for seamless transition from legacy 3D Studio files to today's design and rendering environments.
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.
