Convert 3DS to DRC via Node.js
Render 3DS as DRC without any 3D modeling and rendering software.
How to Convert 3DS to DRC Using Node.js
In order to convert 3DS to DRC, we’ll use
Aspose.3D for Node.js via Java
API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use document manipulation and conversion API for Node.js. You can download its latest version directly from
and by adding configuration in pom.xml. You may also use the following command from the Package Manager Console.
Command line
install aspose.threed
Steps to Convert 3DS to DRC via Node.js
Node.js programmers can easily load & convert 3DS files to DRC in just a few lines of code.
- Load 3DS file via the Scene class
- Create an instance of DrcSaveOptions
- Set DRC specific properties for advanced conversion
- Call the Scene.save method
- Pass the output path with DRC file extension & object of DrcSaveOptions
System Requirements
Before running the Node.js conversion code, make sure that you have the following prerequisites.
- Microsoft Windows or Linux based OS.
- Install Oracle JDK 7 or higher.
- Aspose.3D for Node.js referenced in your project.
Node.js 3D Scene Manipulation Library
Aspose.3D is a CAD and Gameware API to load, modify and convert 3D files. API is a standalone and does not require any any 3D modeling or rendering software. One can easily use API for Discreet3DS, WavefrontOBJ, STL (ASCII, Binary), Universal3D, FBX (ASCII, Binary), Collada, glTF, PLY, GLB, DirectX and more formats.3DS What is 3DS File Format?
A file with 3DS extension represents 3D Studio (DOS) mesh file format used by Autodesk 3D Studio. Autodesk 3D Studio has been in 3D file format market since 1990s and has now evolved to 3D Studio MAX for working with 3D modeling, animation and rendering. A 3DS file contains data for 3D representation of scenes and images and is one of the popular file formats for 3D data import and export. It considers information like camera locations, Mesh data, lighting information, viewport configurations, smoothing group data, bitmap references and attributes to create vertices and polygons for rendering a scene.

A file with .drc extension is a compressed 3D file format created with Google Draco library. Google offers Draco as open source library for compressing and decompressing 3D geometric meshes and point clouds, and improves storage and transmission of 3D graphics. It encodes the input data and saves it as .drc file. At the receiving end, the API reads .drc files and can output these as PLY or OBJ files. The compressed output file enables users to download apps faster and provide quick loading of 3D graphics in browsers.
