Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model MS3D Files to FBX

Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or MS3D (Milkshake 3D) model files to a standard FBX (Autodesk Filmbox) file that can then be edited further in most popular 3D editing packages such as Blender or 3D printed without any further processing. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple MS3D files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.

To convert your MS3D file, click the Upload button above and select the file to convert. Once selected, the file will be converted to a FBX file and will be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the MS3D to FBX conversion process, see the conversion information section below.

Description

The MS3D format is a 3D graphics and animation format used by the popular application MilkShape 3D. The application has been around for many years and allows users to create their own characters and animations for games such as the Quake series and Unreal Tournament.

The most recent release was in 2013, however, the application is still in use and incorporates useful features such as the importing of FBX models to make creating characters for these games easier.

Description

The FBX format by AutoDesk was originally developed by Kaydara in the 1990s as a means to store 2D or 3D content with motion data. It has evolved over the years to become a widely used format by 3D modeling applications such as Blender, 3D Studio Max, and others due to its 3D animation capabilities.

The format is used to contain 3D models, which include vertices, faces, and other 3D geometry along with animation data. The format is proprietary; however, there is a publicly available API to use for development purposes. The file contents can be either text or binary, and work has been carried out by the Blender Foundation to document the format.

FBX Notes

If your original model file contains texture images and other texture-related data, these will be included in the final FBX file.

How does it work?

Converting from the MS3D file format to FBX can be a complex process, and any tool used for this conversion process needs to be able to handle a variety of data conversion tasks as well as identify any defects within the 3D model and fix them. Here we will explain the conversion process used by our tool to accurately convert your MS3D file to a valid FBX 3D model. Let's start with the conversion process, which involves the following steps:

Step 1: Read the Source MS3D File

In its simplest form, an MS3D file is a binary data file containing 3D data such as vertices, faces, normals, and more. When combined, these make up the 3D model you see on your screen.

For more information regarding the MS3D file format, please see this great article that goes into a lot of detail explaining the MS3D format.

Step 2: Process File Data

With the MS3D file data read, our tool generates an internal representation of the full 3D model and will attempt to fix any geometry issues encountered. Along with repairing any issues with the 3D model, the tool will remove any duplicated vertices and prepare the model for exporting to the FBX format.

Step 3: Saving to the FBX Format

With the conversion process entering its final stages, our tool now needs to take the in-memory 3D model we have created in step 2 and convert it to the FBX format.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my MS3D file to FBX?

First click the "Upload..." button, select your MS3D file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the MS3D to FBX conversion has completed, you can download your FBX file straight away.

How long does it take to convert my MS3D to FBX?

We aim to process all MS3D to FBX conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.

How accurate is the MS3D to FBX conversion?

We aim to create the most accurate conversions with our tools. Our tools are under constant development with new features and improvements being added every week.

Is it safe to convert my MS3D to FBX on ImageToStl.com?

Yes, of course! We do not store the MS3D file you submit to us. The resulting FBX file, once created is deleted 15 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.

Do I need a high-spec. computer to use the MS3D to FBX converter?

No. All our conversion tools process your MS3D file on our dedicated conversion servers, meaning you can use our tools on low-spec computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices and receive your converted FBX file quickly.

Can I convert my MS3D to FBX on Windows, Linux, Android, iOS or Mac OS?

Yes! Our MS3D to FBX tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.

What if I am using an Ad Blocker, will that affect things?

Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our MS3D conversion tool please consider white-listing our site. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits on some of our tools and processing/conversion times will be longer.

Can I get support with converting my MS3D to FBX?

Yes. When you have converted your MS3D to FBX, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
