What is a XAF file?

XAF files mostly belong to IMVU by IMVU. XAF file extension is mainly associated with 3D virtual world models based on the VRML format used by DirectX programs. These files contain interactive 3D multimedia content and support Microsoft's Reactive Behavior Modelling Language. XAF file extension is also used to store 3D animation motion data created with 3DS Max using XML format. The data in XAF files created by 3DS Max is used to display the movement of 3D biped characters in video games and animations. IMVU, an online social game also uses XAF files to store 3D animations while Cal3D, a software for creating and rendering 3D animation stores data for a model's skeleton and motion in XAF files using XML format. XAF is sometimes used as code signing certificate files bundled with software to verify that the program is from a trusted source or author. Game soundtracks for Beatdown: Fists of Vengeance, are stored in XAF files.

How to open XAF files

You need a suitable software like IMVU to open a XAF 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 XAF file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a XAF file directly in the browser:.

IMVU by IMVU
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. XAF files are often referred to as IMVU 3d images because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
3DS Max (3D biped's skeletal and motion data) by Autodesk
3DS MAX is a cross-platform software primarily used for creating photorealistic 3D models for animations, movies, and video games. XAF files created using 3DS Max consist of data used to render a 3D biped's movements. This file format is classified as 3D Image. Related links: Autodesk 3ds Max on Wikipedia
Affirm Transcript Editor (witness's testimony transcript) by Web Depo
Affirm Transcript Editor is a discontinued software which was used for recording a witness's testimony outside of a courtroom. The XAF created by Affirm Transcript Editor contains rich-text data which are deposition transcripts from such testimonies. This file format is classified as Page Layout.
Cal3DViewer (3D biped's skeletal and motion data) by Cal3DViewer Developer Community
Cal3DViewer is a software for viewing files created by Cal3D, a library optimized for creating and visualizing the skeletal framework and motion of 3D characters. Initially, the library was used as a 3D client for WorldForge but was later made available for use in other 3D software/projects. This file format is classified as 3D Image. Related links: Cal3D, WorldForge
DirectX (3D virtual world) by Microsoft
DirectX is a graphics processing unit software package for managing multimedia processes on Windows and several other platforms. 3D virtual worlds created based on Microsoft's Active platform's Virtual Reality Modelling Language (VRML) format are stored in XAF files which can be accessed and rendered with DriectX programs. This file format is classified as 3D Image. Related links: DirectX, Microsoft Evolves DirectX Multimedia API Services

XAF format details:

If you know the file format, you can also find out how to open or edit the file. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). Nonetheless, different programs can utilize the same file extension to represent distinct file formats. Double-clicking on the file often results in an error when opening. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our evaluation of the XAF files is as follows:

XAF is seldom used as a file extension and is used by a few programs, each with its own file format. The file formats most commonly found in XAF files are:

30% of all XAF files are Cal3D Xml Animation File files, which are based on the 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 are easily readable with a text editor. The file size is in the range of 71 KB to 4 MB. The keywords auditfile xmlns, <header>, <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>, fiscalYear, http://www.auditfiles.nl/XAF/3.2, endDate and startDate are typical for these files. Files like these are sometimes connected to auditfile and audit.
20% of all XAF files use the same file format, which have the signature CAF. These files contain neither text nor words, but only data. The file size is in the range of 1 KB to 7 KB.

All other XAF files (50%) have different formats, the following 6 formats exist: 3ds Max XML Animation File, XPEC Entertainment game Archive Format, XML and xaf. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your XAF file!

a xaf 3D animation is a special file format by IMVU and should only be edited and saved with the appropriate software.

How to solve problems with XAF files

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