to download a model (x3d, obj and textures) visit 3d+map - open 3d scene then click the download button.
textures are *.png files are shared between x3d and obj
x3d - textures are listed inside
obj - textures are listed in an extra (material) file - *.mtl
most of the time textures will be located in the same dir
if downloading a model manually - do not forget textures (and a corresponding *.mtl for *.obj)

File > Export Mesh As... supports a few formats: *.3ds, *.ply, *.stl, *.obj, *.dxf, *.dae, *.xyz, etc.
- *.x3d to *.obj:
  - there will be 2 files generated: *.obj and *.obj.mtl - the latter contains a list of texture files which should be kept around as well

Notes:

Convert to *.obj in MeshLab
File > Import > Wavefront (.obj)
Switch viewport shading to texture (in Default view it's located next to the Object mode)
