Here we detail how to convert your MAX file to an X3D file using the export options found within the Autodesk 3ds Max application. Currently, our converters cannot convert directly from MAX to X3D. However, using the built-in export functions of Autodesk 3ds Max, we can achieve the conversion.
Firstly, you will need to load your MAX file into Autodesk 3ds Max and select the export to FBX option. Once you have your file in the FBX format, you can use our FBX to X3D converter to complete the conversion process.
Here are two simple steps to convert your MAX to X3D.
| Extension | MAX |
| Full Name | Autodesk 3ds Max |
| Type | 3D Model |
| Mime Type | application/octet-stream |
| Format | Binary |
| Tools | MAX Converters, 3D Model Voxelizer, Create MAX Animation |
The MAX file format is a 3D format used by the popular 3D modeling application Autodesk 3ds Max. The MAX format was introduced by Autodesk in 1996 and is still maintained, with new versions released in recent years.
Autodesk 3ds Max is popular among game developers, TV studios, and special effects studios.
| Extension | X3D |
| Full Name | Extensible 3D Graphics |
| Type | 3D Model |
| Mime Type | model/x3d+xml |
| Format | Text |
| Tools | X3D Converters, 3D Model Voxelizer, Create X3D Animation, Compress X3D, X3D Asset Extractor, Text to X3D, X3D Viewer |
| Open With | Blender, MeshLab |
The X3D file format was introduced in 2002 as a successor to the 3D VRML (WRL) file format. X3D files contain 3D mesh and model information defined using vertices, faces, normals, and material data, making them broadly as capable as the older VRML format.
X3D files are structured XML text-based files that allow full 3D scenes to contain models comprised of 3D mesh data and other simple shapes. There are browser extensions that allow X3D files to be directly embedded within HTML to allow rendering directly to a web page; however, the format has not seen widespread adoption.
X3D files support material and color information. If your uploaded model contains color information, our tool will attempt to save this in the X3D file at the end of the conversion process. Texture information is not supported at this time.
Converting from the MAX file format to X3D can be a complex process, and any tool used for this conversion process needs to be able to handle a variety of data conversion tasks as well as identify any defects within the 3D model and fix them. Here we will explain the conversion process used by our tool to accurately convert your MAX file to a valid X3D 3D model. Let's start with the conversion process, which involves the following steps:
In its simplest form, an MAX file is a binary data file containing 3D data such as vertices, faces, normals, and more. When combined, these make up the 3D model you see on your screen.
For more information regarding the MAX file format, please see this great article that goes into a lot of detail explaining the MAX format.
With the MAX file data read, our tool generates an internal representation of the full 3D model and will attempt to fix any geometry issues encountered. Along with repairing any issues with the 3D model, the tool will remove any duplicated vertices and prepare the model for exporting to the X3D format.
With the conversion process entering its final stages, our tool now needs to take the in-memory 3D model we have created in step 2 and convert it to the X3D format.
We aim to process all MAX to X3D conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.
We aim to create the most accurate conversions with our tools. Our tools are under constant development with new features and improvements being added every week.
Yes, of course! We do not store the MAX file you submit to us. The resulting X3D file, once created is deleted 15 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.
No. All our conversion tools process your MAX file on our dedicated conversion servers, meaning you can use our tools on low-spec computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices and receive your converted X3D file quickly.
Yes! Our MAX to X3D tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.
Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our MAX conversion tool please consider white-listing our site. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits on some of our tools and processing/conversion times will be longer.
Yes. When you have converted your MAX to X3D, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
