The .X file format is a 3D model format used for storing and handling three-dimensional meshes, animations, and scene graphs created with DirectX. X files are part of the Microsoft DirectX 3D File Format toolset that allows the user to store complex 3D models. X files are commonly used for video game models, but can also be used for a variety of other 3d applications.
Technical Details
The X file format consists of two sections. The first section included contains basic information such as the version, number of mesh frames, and a list of mesh frames. This section also contains an optional bitmask which defines the animation data contained in the X file. The second section contains data about each mesh frame which provides details about the vertex and face information of the 3D model. The optional bitmask for the mesh frame sets also contain information for setting UV coordinates, color values, and lighting parameters of each triangle in the model. Other similar file extensions may include .3DS, .OBJ, .MD2, and .MDL.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .X) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .X extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .X file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .X extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .X extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .X file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .X file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .X file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .X file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .X file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
