- Description
- X3D (Extensible 3D) is a royalty-free open standard file format used to represent 3D computer graphics. It is used to store and interchange 3D model data, including surface geometry, color, animation, and metadata. X3D files are built on the XML standard, and can be viewed and edited with a variety of 3D modeling programs.
- The Collada file format was developed to permit cross-platform collaboration when using different design applications. DAE is an open-source format that uses the XML-based schema allowing it to effectively transverse across multiple programs.
