What 3DS and FBX files are
3DS
3DS is the native file format of Autodesk 3D Studio for DOS, the predecessor of 3ds Max. It stores meshes, materials, lights, cameras and basic animation in a binary file, but limits each mesh to 65,535 vertices and 65,535 faces, so today it is mainly used to exchange older models.
FBX
FBX (Filmbox) is a proprietary 3D format owned by Autodesk, originally created by Kaydara for its Filmbox motion capture software. It carries meshes, materials, skeletons and animation, which makes it the common exchange format between Maya, 3ds Max, Blender, Unity and Unreal Engine, but its specification is not public.
