Usage¶
This add-on can be used to import and export objects to/from the 3DS file format. This format is commonly used to exchange files from Autodesk® 3ds Max®.
Properties¶
Import¶
- Forward / Up Axis
Since many applications use a different axis for “Up”, there are axis conversion there settings, Forward and Up axis – By mapping these to different axis you can convert rotations between applications default up and forward axis.
Blender uses Y Forward, Z Up (since the front view looks along the +Y direction). For example, its common for applications to use Y as the up axis, in that case -Z Forward, Y Up is needed.
- Size Constraint
- Scales the imported objects by 10 scene units until it reaches the size defined here. To disable set the Size Constraint to zero.
- Image Search
- This enables a recursive file search if an image file can’t be found.
- Apply Transform
- Applies object transformations after importing.
Export¶
- Forward / Up Axis
Since many applications use a different axis for “Up”, there are axis conversion there settings, Forward and Up axis – By mapping these to different axis you can convert rotations between applications default up and forward axis.
Blender uses Y Forward, Z Up (since the front view looks along the +Y direction). For example, its common for applications to use Y as the up axis, in that case -Z Forward, Y Up is needed.
- Selection Only
- Only export the selected objects. Otherwise export all objects in the scene. Note, this does not apply when batch exporting.
