About the 3DS format

3DS is the binary format of the original Autodesk 3D Studio from the DOS era. It is limited to 65,536 vertices per object and 8-character names, yet an enormous number of models from older libraries and marketplaces are still shipped as .3ds files.

Commonly used by: legacy 3ds Max scenes, old model marketplaces

Mesh geometry is read; textures and lights are ignored.
