File format information for 3DS and GLTF
Detailed information about the source and target file formats, including their capabilities and specifications.
3DS Format
3DS (3D Studio): A proprietary file format (.3ds) developed by Autodesk for 3D Studio. It stores 3D models, materials, and animations but has size limitations and is less common today.
3DS Converter Capabilities
When converting 3D model or mesh files using our 3DS converter, we will attempt to convert color materials into a suitable format for use in the converted file.
GLTF Format
glTF (GL Transmission Format): An open, JSON-based file format (.gltf) for efficient 3D model delivery. It supports geometry, materials, and animations, designed for web and cross-platform compatibility.
GLTF Converter Capabilities
When converting 3D model or mesh files using our GLTF converter, we will attempt to convert color materials into a suitable format for use in the converted file.

About the 3DS to GLTF converter
FurniMesh's 3DS to GLTF converter runs entirely in your browser using a WebAssembly glTF/3D-mesh pipeline — your file never leaves your tab, and the conversion completes in seconds for typical furniture-model files. Materials, UV maps, and scene hierarchy are preserved wherever the GLTF format supports them. There's no sign-up, no watermark, no per-file size cap enforced by the UI — practical limits depend on your browser's available memory.
FurniMesh natively outputs four formats — GLB, OBJ, SKP (SketchUp 2017+), and BLEND (Blender 3.0+). Bridge conversion via this converter additionally produces FBX, STL, GLTF, 3DM (Rhino), IFC, DAE, PLY, OFF, 3DS, and 3MF. Use the converter to bridge between any combination — or skip the conversion step entirely if you don't have a source file yet (the FurniMesh library ships every model in all four native formats pre-rendered).
