What is a DS3 file?

A DS3 file is a 3D model created by Dust3D, an open-source modeling program used to design low-polygon 3D characters and objects. It stores model data such as mesh structure, node relationships, rigging information, and project settings used during the modeling process. DS3 files help users save and continue editing 3D projects within Dust3D.

Artists, hobbyists, game developers, and independent creators commonly use DS3 files when creating stylized characters, game assets, and prototype 3D models. Dust3D uses a procedural workflow that allows users to build 3D models by connecting simple parts and defining the structure of a character or object. The software then generates a complete mesh automatically based on the user's design.

DS3 files save editable project information in a structured project format that preserves modeling data for later editing and export. After completing a project, users can export Dust3D models to more widely supported 3D formats for use in other modeling tools, animation software, or game engines.
