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.
OBJ is a widely supported 3D model format that supports vertex positions, texture coordinates, normals, and materials via companion MTL files. It is ideal for editing and rendering workflows.
