What X and 3DS files are

X

X is the DirectX model format Microsoft introduced with DirectX 2.0 in the 1990s. It stores meshes, materials, texture references and skinned animation in text or binary form, but Microsoft now treats it as legacy and has deprecated the D3DX library that loaded it, so it mostly turns up in older games and tools.

3DS

3DS is the native file format of Autodesk 3D Studio for DOS, the predecessor of 3ds Max. It stores meshes, materials, lights, cameras and basic animation in a binary file, but limits each mesh to 65,535 vertices and 65,535 faces, so today it is mainly used to exchange older models.
