Questions & Answers
ZGL files: Frequently Asked Questions
What are ZGL files?
ZGL is a file format used for storing 3D models and scenes. It stands for "Zapa Graphics Language" and is also known as XGL. It was developed by the company Zapa Digital Arts in the early 2000s as a proprietary format for their 3D content creation software ZapaCAD. The ZGL/XGL format supports complex geometric objects, materials, textures, animation, and lighting. However, it is not widely used in the industry and has been largely replaced by other standard formats such as FBX, OBJ, STL, and COLLADA.
