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 Although now outdated, the X format remains important for archiving and converting legacy DirectX assets.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.

DAE File Format (COLLADA) - 3D Model Exchange Standard
DAE (Digital Asset Exchange) is a widely supported, XML-based 3D file format designed for seamless interoperability between digital content creation tools. Developed by Sony and maintained by the Khronos Group, the COLLADA standard enables the efficient exchange of complex 3D assets - including mesh geometries, materials, skeletons, and animation data—across different software platforms.
Key Features of DAE/COLLADA Files
- Reusable Geometry: Enables multiple objects to reference the same geometry instance, minimizing file size and improving performance.
- Multi-Texture Support: Supports advanced material properties with multiple texture images and coordinate sets for each mesh face.
- Opacity and Object Grouping: Allows control over transparency and organizes objects into named groups for easier scene editing and manipulation.
Convert DAE Files to Other 3D Formats
With Autoconverter and Autoshaper, you can accurately convert DAE (COLLADA) files to other popular 3D formats such as STL, OBJ, SKP, DWG, 3MF, and more. These tools use the open-source OpenCOLLADA framework to ensure full support for both COLLADA 1.4 and 1.5 specifications. Preserve animations, materials, and scene hierarchy with reliable conversion powered by OpenCOLLADA.
Streamline your 3D pipeline with powerful DAE file conversion tools - ideal for game developers, animators, and CAD professionals working across platforms.
