Explain each option in the TGA to 3DS Conversion tool, to effectively create accurate 3D 3DS model from your TGA images.
Tool
This setting lets you choose how your TGA image is converted into a 3DS 3D model. You can use "Stander" for a smooth, heightmap-style model based on brightness, or "Stander Color" for a similar effect but with color details. If you want distinct, separate shapes in your model, go for "Extrude", which creates layers, or "Extrude Color", which does the same but keeps different colors as separate elements.
Dimensions and Resolution
Width & Height & Depth: These settings control the overall size of the resulting 3D 3DS model.
Width Segments & Height Segments: Control the number of subdivisions along the respective axes, affecting the model's resolution and detail. Higher numbers give more detail but make the model more complex.
Border & Border Width
You can add a border around the model for extra structure or visual emphasis. The "Border Width" adjusts how thick that frame is.
Basic Thickness
This value can be adjusted to control how far the 3DS model extrudes from the base, giving it more dimensionality.
Merges Similar Colors
This helps clean up the model by merging areas with similar colors, making the result smoother and less complex, which is especially helpful for low-quality TGA images.
Transparency Conversion
This lets you decide what happens with transparent areas in your TGA image—either converting them to black or white in the model.
Lock Aspect Ratio
If you want to keep the proportions of your image intact while resizing, this option ensures that the width and height scale together.
Invert Output
This option flips the brightness in the image, turning black into white and vice versa, so the model will be the opposite of the original.
Enable Smoothing
When enabled, this reduces sharp, jagged areas in the 3D geometry of the generated 3DS model, smoothing out harsh edges.
Z-axis reflector mirror
With this option enabled, the tool mirrors the model along the Z-axis, creating a symmetrical design if needed.

From TGA to 3DS file format
The file with the .tga extension is a raster graphics format created by Truevision Inc. It was designed for the TARGA (Truevision Advanced Raster Graphics Adapter) board and provides high-color/true-color display support for IBM-compatible PCs. It supports 8, 16, 24, and 32 bits per pixel as well as 8-bit alpha channel. It also supports lossless RLE compression, which can be used to reduce image size. Digital photos and textures use the TGA image format.
Most 3DS files belong to Autodesk's 3DS Max. 3DS Enterprise Archive File is mainly used to store 3D graphics usually created with 3DS Max, a cross-platform 3D modeler and renderer. 3DS files usually contain 3D models, animations, scenes, resource objects (OBJs), viewport settings, lighting information, materials, and mesh data for 3D models. Other 3D design software such as AutoCAD, Maya, Photoshop, Pianoalto can also open and render 3DS files. In addition to 3D graphics, the 3DS format is also a ROM image format used to capture and save game data transferred from 3DS handheld video cassettes to gaming devices developed by Nintendo.
