All about I3D Files

The I3D file type is primarily associated with Giants Editor.

I3D	File extension: I3D
	File type:	3D model file

What is an I3D file?

I3D files mostly belong to Giants Editor. I3D files are an XML-based file format used by Giants Editor to hold 3D model data for simulation games such as Farming Simulator.

They store details like geometry, textures, and material properties.

They are created and modified in the Giants Engine environment.

The XML format allows manual review and small adjustments using a text editor.

FilExt.com note: These files are central to how game assets are organized and rendered. More details can be found at the Giants Software website.

How to open I3D files

You need a suitable software like Giants Editor to open an I3D file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your I3D file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a I3D file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

The .I3D file extension is primarily associated with Farming Simulator, a popular farming simulation game series. These files contain 3D models of various in-game objects, including vehicles, equipment, buildings, and other environmental assets. They utilize an XML-based format to store the 3D model data, which includes mesh geometry, textures, materials, and other relevant information. The .I3D format is specific to the Giants Engine, the game engine used in the Farming Simulator series, and is designed to efficiently load and render complex 3D scenes within the game environment. This file format is classified as 3D model.

I3D format details:

The file format determines how the data is stored in the file. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. If the file extension or signature does not match the file format, errors will occur when opening or editing the file. So you need a detailed analysis of a file to find out the format and the associated program. Below you will find our evaluation of the I3D files:

The I3D file ending is mainly used by one program with a specific format. The following file formats are most commonly found in I3D files:

80% of all I3D files are I3D GIANTS Engine assets files, which are using the popular XML file format. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple text-based format for representing structured information: documents, webpages, data, configuration, books, transactions, invoices, and much more. XML defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. The contents of these files can even be read by a human. A typical file size is 74 KB. It is a modern file type. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. noNamespaceSchemaLocation, i3D name, <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>, version="1.6" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" and http://i3d.giants.ch/schema/i3d-1. The file name map.i3d is characteristic of these files. These files can be linked to series, vario, mapeu, pickup, truck, ursus, water, barn, farm and silo.
3% of all I3D files are based on the well-known XML file format. If you open these files in a text editor, you can view and read the content yourself. The files are on average 4 KB in size and range from 820 bytes to 7 KB. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>, http://i3d.giants.ch/schema/, i3D name, noNamespaceSchemaLocation and version="1.6" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance".

All other I3D files (17%) have no uniform format. You can get all the details of your I3D file by dragging it onto this page or by clicking the button "Choose your .i3d file to analyze" above.

How to solve problems with I3D files

Associate the I3D file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open 3d model files. Because only the current version supports the latest I3D file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available Giants Editor update.
To make sure that your I3D file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
