Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model X3D Files to X

Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or X3D (Extensible 3D Graphics) model files to a standard X (Direct X File) 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 X file and will be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the X3D to X conversion process, see the conversion information section below.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my X3D file to X?

First click the "Upload..." button, select your X3D file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the X3D to X conversion has completed, you can download your X file straight away.

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

We aim to process all X3D to X 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 X 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 X on ImageToStl.com?

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

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

Yes! Our X3D to X 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.

I have several X3D files; can I batch convert my X3D to X?

Yes! Our X3D tool supports full batch conversions. You can upload up to 25 and X3D files at a time. Our tool will convert them all as quickly as possible. Once completed, you can either download the X files individually or download them all in a single ZIP file.

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.

Description

The X 3D file format extension was introduced by Microsoft with the launch of Version 2 of their 3D graphics API, Direct X, back in 2002. The format has evolved over the years; however, in 2014, the X file format was deprecated in favor of newer, more capable formats such as FBX.

The format is a simple text-based file capable of storing 3D mesh information such as vertices, faces, normals, and material information. In addition to basic 3D information, the format can also store animations with the X file format, which is primarily used in the development of games.

X Notes

X files support material and color information. If your uploaded model contains color information, our tool will attempt to save this in the X file at the end of the conversion process. Texture information is not supported at this time.

Supported Features

  • Mesh geometry
  • Material colors
  • Textures

Unsupported Features

  • Animations

How does it work?

Converting from the X3D file format to X 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 X 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 X format.

Step 3: Saving to the X 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 X format.
