- *.x3d (download the textures that are stored in separate files - the paths are specified inside x3d, usually just the file names = same directory)
- to download a sample, visit 3d+map - open 3d scene then click the download button.
Programs
- MeshLab
- CloudCompare
- Blender
Convert to other 3D formats
MeshLab
- 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
- *.x3d to *.obj:
Blender
- Supports some x3d files but not all
View
MeshLab
