What is a 3DS file?
3DS is a legacy 3D file format developed by Autodesk for its old 3D Studio DOS-based program. It stores geometry, textures, lighting, and animation data, and was one of the earliest widely supported formats in 3D graphics.
Although now outdated, 3DS files are still readable in many modern 3D tools and game engines. They are often converted to more modern formats like FBX or OBJ for continued use.
How to open 3DS files
3DS files are supported by many 3D modeling programs, including Autodesk 3ds Max, Blender, and SketchUp. While it's an older format, many modern tools can still read or convert it.
Use AnyConv to convert 3DS files to OBJ, FBX, or STL for improved compatibility with newer software.

What is a OBJ file?
OBJ is a widely used 3D model format developed by Wavefront Technologies. It stores geometry data such as vertex positions, UV coordinates, normals, and polygonal faces in a plain-text format.
OBJ is supported by virtually every 3D software application and is commonly used for exchanging models between different programs. It may be accompanied by an MTL file containing material definitions.
How to open OBJ files
OBJ files can be opened in nearly any 3D modeling software, including Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, and SketchUp. They are ideal for model exchange across different platforms.
Use AnyConv to convert OBJ files to STL, FBX, or GLTF for compatibility with specific tools or 3D printers.
