3DS

3D Studio Mesh File Format

The 3DS file format is a legacy 3D model format developed by Autodesk for storing 3D geometry, textures, lighting, and animation data, widely used in 3D modeling and rendering. It is supported by various 3D software applications, including Autodesk 3ds Max, Blender, and other tools for game development, animation, and visualization. The format uses a chunk-based binary structure, allowing for efficient storage and retrieval of complex 3D scenes, though it lacks support for modern features like advanced shaders or high-precision geometry.

GLTF

GL Transmisison Format

The GLTF is an open, royalty-free file format developed by the Khronos Group for efficient transmission and loading of 3D scenes and models. It is widely supported by 3D tools, engines, and platforms, including Blender, Unity, Unreal Engine, and web-based applications like Three.js. The format uses JSON for metadata, binary data for geometry and animations, and supports advanced features like PBR materials, morph targets, and skeletal animations, making it versatile for real-time rendering and interactive applications.
