# ds3

[![crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/ds3.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/ds3)
[![docs.rs](https://img.shields.io/docsrs/ds3)](https://docs.rs/ds3)

Pure-Rust parser for Autodesk 3D Studio binary (`.3ds`) files.

No dependencies on graphics engines — output is plain `f32` arrays that you
feed into `Mesh::insert_attribute` (Bevy), `glBufferData` (OpenGL), or
whatever renderer you use.

The crate is published as **`ds3`** (a Rust identifier can't start with a
digit); the repository is [`3ds-rs`](https://github.com/BlueJayLouche/3ds-rs).
It is `no_std` + `alloc` compatible (disable the default `std` feature) with a
minimum supported Rust version of 1.70.

## Installation

```sh
cargo add ds3
```

```toml
[dependencies]
ds3 = "0.1"
# no_std: ds3 = { version = "0.1", default-features = false }
# serde:  ds3 = { version = "0.1", features = ["serde"] }
```

## Quick start

```rust
use ds3::parse;

let scene = parse(&std::fs::read("model.3ds")?)?;
for mesh in &scene.meshes {
    println!("{}: {} verts, {} faces", mesh.name, mesh.vertices.len(), mesh.faces.len());

    // Flat-shaded (one vertex per face corner)
    let (pos, nrm, uv, idx) = mesh.to_flat_buffers();

    // Smooth-shaded (vertices shared across smooth groups)
    let (pos, nrm, uv, idx) = mesh.to_smooth_buffers();
}
```

## Features

| Feature | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `serde` | Derives `Serialize` / `Deserialize` on all public types |

## Coordinate system

3DS stores vertices in right-handed Y-up. No axis permutation is required.
The `Mesh3ds::transform` matrix is also Y-up.

Some exporters write Z-up regardless of the spec; swap Y/Z after `parse` if you
know your source is Z-up.
