3D Studio
Autodesk 3D Studio is a 3D modeling, animation and rendering application for the Microsoft DOS operating system developed by the Yost Group for Autodesk in the late 80s until the arrival of its successor, 3ds Max.
A total of 4 released were published in 18 months cycles between Halloween 1990 and 1994. 3D Studio quickly became the leading 3D software on the PC, esp. because of its good interoperability with Autocad and relatively low price of both the software and the required hardware. It also became the software of choice for many game development companies.
The native file format of 3D Studio, 3DS, while rather limited from today's perspective (only one UV channel, only one UV vertex per mesh vertex, 64K face limit per object, only Position/Rotation/Scale animation), is still used together with OBJ as the Least Common Denominator data interchange format by many 3D applications.
