What kind of files can be loaded into 3DXchange?

3DS (from Autodesk) and OBJ (from Wavefront) are two of the most widely supported file format in the 3D world. Almost 100% 3D modeling tools allow users to import or export static 3D models in those formats. In addition, you may also import VNS files from iClone for further editing. With 3DXchange, you can say that you are able to import the world of 3d contents into iClone.

If you have 3DS, OBJ, or VNS files prepared at hand, you may import them by means of several methods.

Method 1:

  1. Click File / Open…(Ctrl + O) in the main menu.

  2. In the file browser, locate your 3DS, OBJ, or VNS file.

  3. Click the Open button.

Method 2:

Tips:

  • If you select multiple files and drag them into 3DXchange, only the one under your cursor as you are dragging will be opened and you will be prompted for this issue.

  • If 3DXchange is not launched and you drag and drop a 3DS, OBJ, or VNS file onto its program icon, it launches 3DXchange with the file loaded.
