3DS Viewer

Inspect a static 3D scene, its placements and uploaded materials.

Drop your model and its linked files here

Drop files together, or choose their folder to keep the original paths. Any supported file type or ZIP works here.

Bring linked files together

Upload a self-contained model directly. For textures, material libraries or buffers, select the related files together or choose their folder. Open a model from the uploaded collection to preview it with its linked files. ZIP uploads are also supported. Names are case sensitive inside references. Uppercase model suffixes are accepted. Missing buffers stop the preview; missing optional textures or MTL files produce a labeled preview with diagnostics. Download and Raw always retain the original bytes.

Supported static subset

3D Studio mesh chunks, face material groups, diffuse PNG/JPEG maps and static frame-zero object hierarchy, including pivot and instance placements. Tracks must begin at frame zero. Morph/hide tracks and procedural objects are unsupported. Source Z-up and master scale are retained in metadata; physical units are unknown.

Animation playback, editing, conversion and full authoring fidelity are outside this viewer. Source bounds and declared units are reported separately from display centering and orientation; unspecified units remain model units. Unsupported geometry fails explicitly. Optional or approximated appearance produces a partial preview.

Preview and controls

The browser viewer does not impose fixed file-size, geometry-count or texture-memory caps. Available browser memory and graphics capabilities determine what can be rendered. PNG/JPEG textures are supported; the renderer handles the device’s maximum texture dimensions. Source geometry is preserved. A position record is not a unique topological vertex.

Parsing runs in a cancellable browser worker. Downloads and parsing have no application-imposed time limit; use Cancel to stop an attempt. Use orbit, pan, zoom, reset and wireframe to inspect the scene. Cancel and Retry start independent attempts. Linked resources must exist in this artifact; external URLs, absolute paths, queries, fragments and ambiguous encodings are blocked.

Upload and storage

Files are uploaded and stored by this site under its normal artifact retention and sharing rules, then rendered in your browser. This is not a local-only tool. Original files remain available through Raw and Download.
