'''MilkShape ASCII'''<ref>https://www.gamedev.net/forums/topic/34112-ms3d-ascii-format/</ref>, AKA '''MilkShape 3d ASCII model'''<ref>http://www.chumba.ch/chumbalum-soft/ms3d/download.html</ref>, is a format that can be used by the software [[MilkShape 3D]] to store 3-d meshes, materials, and bones. It is readable (and writable) as [[ASCII]] [[plaintext]], and is presumably meant to be a version of the [[MilkShape model]] format that is easier to work with.

== Identification ==
MilkShape ASCII files exported from MilkShape 3d begin with the line "//MilkShape 3D ASCII". However, this does not seem to be mandatory, as the software will read files without it without problems.
