A 3DS file, also known as a 3D Studio file, is a digital file format used for storing three-dimensional models and scenes. It was originally developed by Autodesk for their 3D Studio software and later adopted by other 3D modeling applications. The 3DS file format can store a wide range of information related to 3D models, including geometric data, textures, lighting, and animation data.
Geometric data within a 3DS file describes the shape and structure of the 3D model, such as vertices, edges, and faces that define the object's surface. Texture information allows the application to apply images or materials to the model's surface, giving it a realistic appearance. Additionally, 3DS files can store lighting data, enabling the 3D scene to have various light sources and shadows.
One of the significant advantages of the 3DS file format is its compatibility with many 3D modeling software packages, making it a widely used and supported format in the computer graphics industry. However, as technology has advanced, newer and more efficient file formats have emerged, such as FBX and OBJ, which offer better support for modern features and larger scenes.
3DS Converter Capabilities
Our 3DS 3D Model/Mesh tool does not support any color material data contained within 3DS files so the converted file will not contain any color information.
| Extension | SKP |
| Full Name | SketchUp |
| Type | 3D Model |
| Mime Type | application/octet-stream |
| Format | Binary |
A SKP file, which stands for SketchUp file, is a proprietary 3D modeling format primarily used by SketchUp, a popular software application developed by Trimble Inc. It serves as the native file format for storing and exchanging 3D models created within SketchUp. SketchUp is widely employed in various fields such as architecture, interior design, engineering, and video game development due to its user-friendly interface and versatile tools. The SKP file contains detailed information about the geometry, textures, materials, and other components that constitute the 3D model, enabling users to save and share their creations seamlessly.
One of the significant advantages of SKP files is their compact size, making them relatively easy to handle and share over the internet or through emails. Additionally, the format allows users to maintain the integrity of their designs, as SKP files preserve the hierarchy and organization of the model's elements. Beyond SketchUp, SKP files can be exported to other formats like DWG, DAE, or STL, broadening their compatibility with other 3D modeling software and applications.
Due to its widespread use and compatibility, the SKP file format has become an industry standard in 3D modeling and design. Its flexibility, combined with SketchUp's growing popularity, has made it a favored choice for professionals and enthusiasts seeking efficient and accessible tools for creating and sharing their 3D projects.
SKP Converter Capabilities
Our 3D conversion tool does not support color/material information in SKP files so your file will not contain any color information.
Your 3DS file will be converted to a SKP file using our unified 3D model and mesh conversion tool. Our 3DS 3D tool performs accurate conversions of 3D elements such as vertices, faces, normals and relevant material information. Our tool will not attempt to transfer any color information if present in your 3DS file, your final 3D model will contain geometry data only.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your 3DS file to upload. Your 3DS file will be uploaded to our servers. When the 3DS to SKP conversion has completed, you can download your SKP file straight away.
We aim to process all 3DS to SKP conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds however this can be longer for certain files, so please be patient.
We aim to provide the best conversion experience. Our tools are under constant review and development with new features being added every week.
