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 Although now outdated, the X format remains important for archiving and converting legacy DirectX assets.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

Universal 3D Model Exchange - U3D File Format
The Universal 3D (U3D) format is an open, royalty-free 3D file standard designed for efficient sharing of 3D models across different platforms and applications. Originally developed by the 3D Industry Forum and now standardized by ECMA International (ECMA-363), U3D files offer compressed storage of 3D triangular meshes, along with attributes like color, transparency, and texture mapping. U3D is widely known for enabling interactive 3D graphics directly within PDF documents.
Main Features of U3D Files
- Open and Royalty-Free: Maintained as an international standard, ensuring no licensing fees for developers and users.
- 3D PDF Support: Integrates seamlessly with PDF files (ISO 32000 standard), allowing users to embed, view, and interact with 3D models inside Adobe Acrobat Reader and other compatible viewers.
- Efficient Compression: Stores 3D geometry and properties in a compact, binary format optimized for fast transmission and document embedding.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Enables 3D model viewing across Windows, macOS, and Linux without requiring proprietary software.
Convert U3D Files to Other 3D Formats
Easily convert U3D models to popular 3D formats with our Autoconverter and Automesher Application. Powered by Intel's open-source IFX library, our solutions allow high-fidelity two-way conversion between U3D and formats like STL, OBJ, SKP (SketchUp), DAE (Collada), STEP, and X3D.
