Questions & Answers
XGL files: Frequently Asked Questions
What are XGL files?
XGL (or .xgl) is a file format used for storing 3D models and scenes. It was developed by Softimage in the early 2000s as a proprietary format for their 3D modeling and animation software, Softimage|XSI. XGL files store information about the geometry, materials, textures, and hierarchy of a 3D model, as well as animation and lighting information. However, the format is no longer widely used as Softimage|XSI has been discontinued and replaced by Autodesk Maya and 3ds Max. XGL files can still be opened and converted to other formats using specialized software tools.
Can reaConverter open XGL files?
reaConverter fully supports the XGL file format – open, edit, and export XGL files to any other popular file format with ease.
Do I need 3D or CAD software to convert XGL files?
No. reaConverter reads XGL files on its own, so the conversion needs no Blender, 3ds Max or Maya installation. It runs offline on your PC and handles whole folders at once, which suits model libraries, supplier deliveries and product ranges that have to reach people working in other software.
