Autodesk 3D Studio (.3ds)
Developer: NRGSille
Extension that moves classic .3ds scenes, with geometry, shading, cameras, lights and animation, in and out of Blender.
What Autodesk 3D Studio (.3ds) does
Autodesk 3D Studio (.3ds) lets Blender exchange files in the classic .3ds format. Maintained by NRGSille, it reads and writes meshes, materials, textures, cameras, lights, ambient and atmosphere settings, and animation.
Each ambient block becomes a world node setup on import, and ambient animation keyframes come into the timeline. Background images and fog are read into the world nodes, and the exporter uses a specific node per chunk. Artists dealing with older assets or legacy pipelines can move them in and out of Blender.
Key features
- Two-way .3ds scene transfer
