.DS File Extension

Plain text script used by DAZ Studio, a 3D modeling application; contains instructions that automate program functionality; may act like a macro for running common tasks or may include custom code that extends the functionality of the software; often used for applying character morphs or model presets, and for working with import and export file formats.

NOTE: DS files are used by DAZ Studio 1 and 2, but are still compatible with DAZ Studio 3. The native script extension for DAZ Studio 3 and later is .DSA.

Audio sample used by LMMS (Linux MultiMedia Studio), a free music creation program; can be loaded into the LMMS DrumSynth, which plays back sequences of drum samples.

DS files are saved in a lossless but compact format and are used specifically by the DrumSynth feature. LMMS can also load several other types of sample formats into audio tracks, including .WAV, .AIF, .OGG, and .MP3 files.

Game script used by Furcadia, a 2D multiplayer online game set in a fantasy world of dreams; saved as part of a dream (a game .MAP file) and contains scripted events that occur during the dream; can be edited with the DragonSpeak Editor (DSEditor.exe) included with Furcadia.

DS files use a plain text format and can be viewed with any text editor.
