The WRL (or VRML) file format is used to store 3D models and their environments in a simple-to-edit, plain text format. The WRL format has been around since the 1990s and has gained widespread support as a convenient 3D graphics format.

The 3D data is stored within the file in a hierarchical format, allowing 3D objects to be grouped and manipulated together. The format also allows 3D objects to be assigned unique IDs, allowing them to be referenced elsewhere in the same document, allowing the same 3D model to be used multiple times while only defining its vertices, faces, and other 3D data once.

While the format still enjoys support within many 3D editing applications, the WRL format has been officially superseded by the XML-based X3D format, which comes with more features and, with its use of the standard XML format, more support amongst 3D modelling applications.

The X3D format is similar to the older WRL 3D modelling format, updated with more features and using a more modern XML file structure. It is designed for describing website virtual worlds.

As it was designed to be the successor to the WRL format, the X3D format supports most of the same capabilities, such as 3D mesh definitions via elements such as the IndexedFaceSet, which comprises geometrical vertices, faces, normals, texture coordinates, and more.

Due to the use of XML to store 3D information, files can grow quite large with complex 3D models. Support for X3D has been mixed, with some 3D editing applications building in access to the format and others mostly ignoring it in favour of other formats such as FBX and GLB.

X3D Converter Capabilities

When converting your WRL to X3D our tool will attempt to accurately convert any color/material information.

Information for converting from WRL to X3D

Your WRL file will be converted to a X3D file using our unified 3D model and mesh conversion tool. Our WRL 3D tool performs accurate conversions of 3D elements such as vertices, faces, normals and relevant material information. As both WRL and X3D support color material information our tool will also attempt to convert the color information too.
