Extract text from 3D game models (XMD)
To convert XMD 3D models to another format, you need Autodesk 3ds Max or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Engine Asset File" file type, you need software like Autodesk 3ds Max or a similar tool.
The .XMD file extension is a highly fragmented format primarily used to store game data definitions, 3D models, and animations. It is associated with several proprietary game engines, including Gamebryo, Starbreeze, and Capcom's MT Framework. Outside of gaming, the extension is also heavily used for Salesforce Extended Metadata (stored as XML), X-Ways Forensics signature definitions, and even CD/DVD Media Descriptors.
The main disadvantage of .XMD files is this severe fragmentation. Because an .XMD file from a Capcom video game is completely structurally different from a Salesforce metadata file, standard online converters constantly fail to process them. These files are typically closed, proprietary binaries or application-specific XML data locked to a single software ecosystem. Opening them requires the exact original engine or specialized modding plugins for tools like Autodesk 3ds Max.
If you are dealing with an .XMD 3D model, your best conversion targets are universal formats like OBJ or FBX, but extracting them usually requires community-built modding scripts. Because standard tools cannot guess what kind of .XMD file you have, generic conversion is notoriously difficult. If our analysis detects an underlying plain text or XML structure, viewing or conversion may still be seamlessly supported.
Convert.Guru analyzes your XMD file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MXD, XSD, ALO, KF and NFT files.
If you want to convert XMD file to ISO, IMG, DMG, VHD, VMDK, VDI, HDD, QCOW, QCOW2, RAW, VBOX or OVA, you can use Autodesk 3ds Max or similar software from the "Game Data and 3D Models" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert VFD, DMG, OVA, IMA, VBOX, ADF, PVS, VHD, OVF, ISO, DSK or IMG files to XMD, try Autodesk 3ds Max or another comparable tool in the "Game Data and 3D Models" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our XMD converter.
