X File - Microsoft DirectX 3D Model Format
The .X file format is a legacy 3D graphics format developed by Microsoft for DirectX applications. Introduced in 1995, it was widely used in Windows-based 3D games and multimedia software to store mesh geometry, materials, textures, and animation data. Although now outdated, the X format remains important for archiving and converting legacy DirectX assets.
Key Features of the X File Format
- Microsoft Origin: Created for use with DirectX on Windows 95 and beyond.
- 3D Mesh Support: Contains vertex positions, faces, normals, and other mesh details.
- Skeletal Animation: Supports bone-based rigging, keyframe animations, and skinning weights.
- Texture Mapping: Includes UV coordinates for accurate image-based texturing.
Convert X Files to Modern 3D Formats
Preserve your legacy DirectX 3D content with our reliable Autoconverter and Automesher Application. Effortlessly convert .X files to STL, OBJ, SKP, STEP, 3DM, and other standard formats used in 3D printing, CAD design, and visualization software. Whether you are updating old game assets or integrating classic models into modern workflows, our X file converter ensures full compatibility and data fidelity.

Rhinoceros 3D (3DM) File Format
The 3DM file format is the native format for Rhinoceros 3D (Rhino), a leading NURBS-based 3D modeling software used across industries like architecture, engineering, and industrial design. 3DM files accurately store mathematical representations of curves, surfaces, solids, and meshes, making them essential for precision 3D modeling and CAD workflows.
Key Features of 3DM Files
- NURBS Geometry: Supports precise, smooth surfaces critical for advanced design and engineering projects.
- Polygonal Meshes: Stores tessellated 3D models ideal for rendering, simulation, and 3D printing workflows.
- SubD Surfaces: Allows flexible, editable subdivision modeling for organic shapes and complex surfaces.
- Instance References: Saves memory by creating linked object instances, optimizing large and detailed models.
Convert 3DM Files Seamlessly
Autoconverter and Autoshaper simplify 3DM file conversion to popular formats like STEP, IGES, OBJ, STL, and DWG. Automate the export of 3DM polygon meshes for 3D printing, or preserve NURBS data for engineering-grade CAD models. Save files in legacy (Rhino 2.X - 7.X) or latest Rhino 8.X formats to ensure compatibility across all project environments.
