X Direct3D File

Developed by Microsoft in 1995 as part of DirectX for Windows 95, this format stores 3D mesh geometry along with materials and textures. It served as the original interchange format for DirectX’s graphics and multimedia APIs.

Key Features of X

  • Origin: Developed by Microsoft in 1995 as part of DirectX.
  • Geometry: Stores 3D mesh data including vertices, faces, and normals.
  • Animation: Supports skeletal animation with bone hierarchies and skinning weights.
  • UV Mapping: Includes texture coordinate data for applied images.

X File Conversion

Autoconverter and Automesher Application enable effortless conversion of X files to your native 3D environment, including STL, OBJ, 3DM, SKP, STEP, and other industry-standard formats to bridge DirectX assets with CAD, 3D printing, and computational design workflows. Need to modernize legacy X files? Our X file converters ensure smooth transitions to contemporary workflows.

PLY Polygon File

A a simple and flexible file format to store 3D mesh data. It supports vertices, faces (triangles/polygons), colors, normals, and custom properties. PLY is also known as the Stanford Triangle Format as it was developed at Stanford University in the early 1990s. It still remains a popular choice for storing 3D geometry.

Key Features of PLY

  • Flexible Structure: Supports vertices, faces (triangles/polygons), edges, and custom data.
  • Properties: Can store RGB colors, normals, texture coordinates, transparency, and user-defined attributes.
  • ASCII & Binary Formats: PLY files can be saved in ASCII (readable) or binary (compact) form.
