Convert ASE to U3D: The Key References

ASE to U3D: Resources

Enclosed is a comprehensive list of resources related to the interoperability and exchange between ASE and U3D files. These resources will prove invaluable in facilitating the conversion from ASE to U3D files.


ASE File ASE

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.


U3D File U3D

The U3D (Universal 3D) file format is an open-source compressed format, initiated by the 3D Industry Forum. It’s designed to store three-dimensional triangular meshes along with additional properties such as color, transparency, or texture coordinates. This format plays a significant role in the general 3D graphics industry, particularly in conjunction with 3D PDF technology. It enables the generation of PDF documents containing interactive 3D data from U3D files. Both of our U3D file converters, Autoconverter and Automesher Application, are capable of reading and writing to and from the U3D file format. This is made possible thanks to the publicly available open-source IFX conversion library provided by Intel. To streamline the process of generating 3D PDF documents, our converters create a standard TEX script that can be easily utilized with free LaTeX software.
