Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model X3D Files to BLEND

Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or X3D (Extensible 3D Graphics) model files to a standard BLEND (Blender) file that can then be edited further in most popular 3D editing packages such as Blender or 3D printed without any further processing. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple X3D files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.

To convert your X3D file, click the Upload button above and select the file to convert. Once selected, the file will be converted to a BLEND file and will be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the X3D to BLEND conversion process, see the conversion information section below.

Description

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 Notes

If your X3D file contains textures, these will be ignored. If a material contains color information, this will be translated where possible.

  • Mesh geometry
  • Mesh material colors

Description

The BLEND file type is the native 3D graphics file format of the 3D modeling application Blender. Originally released in 1994, Blender has grown over the years and is one of the most popular 3D applications available.

BLEND files store 3D content such as 3D geometry, vertices, faces, normals, animations, materials, and much more. Blender is free and open-source, contains many features you would expect in a high-end 3D editing application, and is available for most current operating systems.

BLEND Notes

If your original model file contains texture images and other texture-related data, these will be included in the final BLEND file.

Supported Features

  • Mesh geometry
  • Materials
  • Textures

How does it work?

Converting from the X3D file format to BLEND 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 X3D file to a valid BLEND 3D model. Let's start with the conversion process, which involves the following steps:

Step 1: Read the Source X3D File

In its simplest form, an X3D file is a plain text file containing human-readable 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 X3D file format, please see this great article that goes into a lot of detail explaining the X3D format.

Step 2: Process File Data

With the X3D 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 BLEND format.

Step 3: Saving to the BLEND 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 BLEND format.

Frequently Asked Questions

What version of Blender will the file be saved as?

Our tool will save all Blender files that can be opened with version 4.2 of Blender.

How long does it take to convert my X3D to BLEND?

We aim to process all X3D to BLEND conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.

How accurate is the X3D to BLEND conversion?

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.

Is it safe to convert my X3D to BLEND on ImageToStl.com?

Yes, of course! We do not store the X3D file you submit to us. The resulting BLEND file, once created is deleted 15 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.

Do I need a high-spec. computer to use the X3D to BLEND converter?

No. All our conversion tools process your X3D 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 BLEND file quickly.

Can I convert my X3D to BLEND on Windows, Linux, Android, iOS or Mac OS?

Yes! Our X3D to BLEND tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.

What if I am using an Ad Blocker, will that affect things?

Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our X3D 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.

Can I get support with converting my X3D to BLEND?

Yes. When you have converted your X3D to BLEND, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
