3DS to DXF Conversion
What are 3DS files?
3DS is an extension attached to files created using 3DS Max, Autodesk's popular software for creating 3D imagery and animations. The program is mostly used in developing video games, production of TV commercials and movies, or in architectural modelling. The 3DS format was first launched in 1990, together with the first version of 3D Studio DOS, and has since gained a wide popularity, managing to become the actual standard for storing and transferring 3D models.
What are DXF files?
DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is a format associated with AutoCAD, a popular program used for computer-aided design by engineers, architects and other professionals in the field of building design and construction. The DXF format was developed in the early 1980s by Autodesk with the purpose of increasing the interoperability between AutoCAD and other CAD or advanced image design programs. It supports 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional drawings, and can be opened using a wide array of image processing programs.
