ASC file extension - 3D Studio Max 3D ASCII scene
What is asc file? How to open asc files?
File extension asc is originally associated with 3D Studio Max (now 3ds Max), one of the most widely-used 3D animation programs, developed by Autodesk, Inc. Nowadays it is used by Civil 3D for example.
asc files contain 3D scenes (geometric points and shapes) in ASCII text format and can be readable in any text editor, but to view the 3D scene, file has to be opened in the 3D Studio Max, AutoCAD or other CAD application, that supports ASC file format.
ASC file format was developed by Autodesk for easier interchange of the 3D data between 3D modeling applications.
