Model File Formats
Name Developer data type. Skeletal Animation Vertex Animation Other features Plus Minus SDK
3DS - 3D studio Autodesk application/octet-stream (binary) Yes Yes Native support with 3ds max, common interchange format. Easy to use, lots of documentation. Materials, Lights, Cameras, Instancing Third Party
Autodesk FBX Autodesk text/plain Yes Yes Native support with 3ds max, mudbox etc, common interchange format, very widely used. Easy to use, tons of ofiicial documentation. Materials, Lights, Cameras, Instancing, Interchange Yes
AN8 - Anim8or R. Steven Glanville text/plain Unknown Unknown Easy to use, lots of documentation. Not Widely supported outside of Anim8or 3d modelling package Third Party
COLLADA - COLLAborative Design Activity Khronos / Sony Computer Entertainment text/xml Yes Yes Effects, Shaders (GLSL, GLES, Cg), Materials, Textures, Lights, Cameras, Physics, Instancing Easy to use, lots of documentation (Khronos shares the copyright). Plaintext can create large files Yes
DXF - AutoCAD object Autodesk text/plain or application/octet-stream (binary) No No A widely supported CAD format A CAD format is not designed with games in mind. can be binary or ascii which makes it potentially harder/slower to read. Unknown
