Understanding 3DS and BLEND file formats

The 3DS file format is a 3D model format used by Autodesk 3D Studio. It is widely used for storing 3D models, including information about geometry, texture, and lighting. The BLEND file format, on the other hand, is the native file format for Blender, a popular open-source 3D modeling software. BLEND files store a wide range of data, including 3D models, animations, textures, and more.

How to convert 3DS to BLEND

Converting a 3DS file to a BLEND file allows you to edit and enhance your 3D models using Blender's powerful tools. Here are the steps to perform this conversion:

Best software for 3DS to BLEND conversion

The best software for converting 3DS files to BLEND is Blender itself. Blender supports importing 3DS files directly, making the conversion process straightforward. Follow these steps:

  • Open Blender.
  • Go to File → Import → 3D Studio (.3ds).
  • Select the 3DS file you wish to convert and click Import 3DS.
  • Once the file is imported, you can edit it as needed.
  • To save the file as a BLEND file, go to File → Save As and choose the BLEND format.

Alternative converters

While Blender is the most recommended tool for this conversion, other software like Autodesk 3ds Max can also be used to export 3DS files to formats that Blender can import, such as OBJ or FBX, which can then be saved as BLEND files in Blender.
