3DS is a legacy file format used by Autodesk 3D Studio (DOS). Despite its age, it remains widely used for simple 3D model exchange. It supports meshes, materials, and basic scene data.
GLB is the binary version of glTF, packaging all assets (meshes, textures, animations) into a single file. It is widely used for web-based 3D, AR/VR, and real-time rendering applications.
