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.
Universal 3D Model Exchange - U3D File Format
The Universal 3D (U3D) format is an open, royalty-free 3D file standard designed for efficient sharing of 3D models across different platforms and applications. Originally developed by the 3D Industry Forum and now standardized by ECMA International (ECMA-363), U3D files offer compressed storage of 3D triangular meshes, along with attributes like color, transparency, and texture mapping. U3D is widely known for enabling interactive 3D graphics directly within PDF documents.
Main Features of U3D Files
- Open and Royalty-Free: Maintained as an international standard, ensuring no licensing fees for developers and users.
- 3D PDF Support: Integrates seamlessly with PDF files (ISO 32000 standard), allowing users to embed, view, and interact with 3D models inside Adobe Acrobat Reader and other compatible viewers.
- Efficient Compression: Stores 3D geometry and properties in a compact, binary format optimized for fast transmission and document embedding.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Enables 3D model viewing across Windows, macOS, and Linux without requiring proprietary software.
Convert U3D Files to Other 3D Formats
Easily convert U3D models to popular 3D formats with our Autoconverter and Automesher Application. Powered by Intel's open-source IFX library, our solutions allow high-fidelity two-way conversion between U3D and formats like STL, OBJ, SKP (SketchUp), DAE (Collada), STEP, and X3D.
