Select File(s)

Or drag and drop your files here to upload.
A maximum of 20 files can be uploaded at once.

Please note: Your X file, once uploaded to our server, will be deleted 15 minutes after upload, so please download your converted X file before this time.

Our 3D model X to OBJ tool will load your X file and, where supported, attempt to extract all the relevant 3D features, such as geometry, textures, and animations. To access the 3D conversion configuration options, click the button when you have selected your files. The current options support the ability to voxelize your 3D model and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my X file to OBJ?

First, click the "Upload..." button and select your X file to upload. Your X file will be uploaded to our servers. When the X to OBJ conversion has completed, you can download your OBJ file right away.

How long does it take to convert my X to OBJ?

We aim to process all X to OBJ conversions as quickly as possible; this usually takes around 5 seconds; however, this can be longer for certain files, so please be patient.

How accurate is the X to OBJ conversion?

We aim to provide the best conversion experience. Our tools are under constant review and development, with new features being added every week.

How does converting X to OBJ work?

In order to successfully convert an X formatted file to the OBJ format, our converter tools will perform several initial checks to ensure the file provided is indeed an X file. There are many files out there where the file type extension does not match the data contained within the file. Along with these file type checks, our tools will do additional checks to ensure the file is correctly formatted to match the provided file type. There are many tools out there that do not always create X files to the exact specification.

Take your X file

The X file format is a text-based format, meaning its contents are human-readable, making X files easy to edit in simple text editors. Within this text-based format are the core elements that make up the 3D model, including vertices, faces, and more. To ensure efficient conversions, our tool will check all data that is contained within the X file and remove any information that is duplicated. This not only ensures the conversion completes more quickly, but also the generated OBJ file size is smaller.

Along with the core data that makes up the 3D model, our tool will check the X file for the presence of texture coordinates to ensure any texture-based materials are converted correctly. Even if the texture files are not presented with the X file, our converter will preserve any texture coordinates when converting to the OBJ format.

Convert the data from X to OBJ

Now that the data from the X file has been processed, our tool can apply any conversion specified options, such as enabling Voxel mode, and with these applied, prepare the data to be converted to the final OBJ file format. Part of this process ensures checking the capabilities of the OBJ format and removing any data that cannot be represented.

Save to the OBJ format

At this point, the X to OBJ conversion tool will have the 3D model in a state that is ready to be transferred to the OBJ format. Our tool creates the OBJ file, ensuring all the model data is present and is formatted to match the OBJ file specification to ensure the file opens in compatible OBJ file editors.

If the X file contains texture images, these will be exported to a format that is compatible with the OBJ format. For most textures that are stored as JPG or PNG images, these are transferred with no changes. However, if there are other formats, such as TGA, these will be converted to a suitable format.

If an X texture does need to be converted to a different image file format, our tool will ensure the quality and resolution are not degraded during the conversion process.

File format information for X and OBJ

The X file format is the legacy format used by the Microsoft Direct X suite of components and tools. Specifically, X files are used to store hierarchical 3D objects along with their associated material, texture, lighting, and animation data.

The 3D data is stored as plain text in the X file, allowing for manual editing within a simple text editor. 3D mesh surfaces are defined using a series of vertex coordinates and joined with lists of face indices. Along with these are optional normal and texture coordinates for textured surfaces; the textures themselves are often stored as external files using the DDS file format.

As mentioned previously, the X format is a legacy format and is no longer widely supported, with developers preferring to use modern formats such as FBX instead. That said, some 3D modeling applications still support importing and exporting to the X format.

The OBJ file format is a 3D graphics file format used to define complex 3D models, including geometry, materials, and textures. OBJ files are text files, making them human-readable and easy to modify by hand. The downside to this ease of readability is that the files can become rather large when dealing with large or complex 3D models.

As mentioned, the OBJ format stores not only 3D model geometry but also materials and textures. These materials are usually defined in a separate file with the MTL file extension and specify geometry rendering details such as diffuse and specular color, transparency, and much more.

The OBJ material file can also reference external texture files. These are usually JPEG or PNG files; however, these can be older formats, such as TGA. Where materials are used, the OBJ file will also contain material names preceding the geometry faces they should be applied to. If textures are referenced, the geometry will also contain texture coordinates (UV) for each vertex.

When converting your X to OBJ, our tool will attempt to accurately convert any color or material information.

Information for converting from X to OBJ

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