New page

'''''3DS''''' (.3ds) is an old model format originally developed for the DOS version of 3DS Max. It is very limited, which makes it unsuitable for sharing models. It is the only model format exported by [[bmdview2]], so is usually involved in the ripping process for several of Nintendo's [[GameCube]] games.

3DS is '''not''' one of the acceptable model formats for [[The Models Resource]].

== Limitations ==
This is a list of the limitations with the 3DS format, and also why they are not acceptable as model submissions.

* Only supports triangular polygons
* Texture names can only be eight characters long (not counting the file extension)
* Cannot have more than 65536 polygons and vertices.
* Does not support vertex normals, only smoothing groups
* Objects limited to 10 characters in the name, material names limited to 16 characters
