An .XOF file has no single guaranteed meaning and typically refers either to a legacy DirectX-style 3D model container or an OthBase XML format for Othello game records; the 3D kind can hold meshes, normals, UVs, materials, and texture references, often starting with headers such as “xof … txt …,” while the OthBase kind is straightforward XML storing move sequences, players, and event data, making a quick Notepad check—XML versus xof header or binary—the easiest way to identify the type.

When people say “XOF is a 3D graphics file,” they’re noting that it stores the pieces of a 3D model—geometry, normals, UVs, materials, hierarchy, and occasionally animation—within an older Microsoft/DirectX lineage, appearing as either text with readable tags or binary that looks messy in Notepad, and most modern workflows convert it to formats like FBX/OBJ/GLTF, identifying it quickly by opening it and checking for an “xof …” header rather than unrelated XML.

To quickly tell what kind of .XOF file you have, start with basic quick checks: if the file came from a 3D pipeline, DirectX-era assets, or older game mods, it’s likely the 3D/X-file family, but if it came from Othello/OthBase tools or game databases, the XML variant is far more likely; opening it reveals more—clean XML with tags like “ means the OthBase format, while an opening header starting with `xof` or terms such as Mesh or Material, or binary noise with “xof” at the top, indicates the 3D type, and these hints usually settle the question quickly.

When we say “XOF is a 3D graphics file,” we mean it contains the blueprint of a 3D model rather than a simple raster image, and historically it aligned with DirectX’s X-file format by packaging vertex/triangle meshes, shading normals, UV mapping data, and material attributes including color, shininess, transparency, and texture filename links.

Depending on how it was exported, it can also include a structured set of frames/nodes that defines how model parts relate to each other, and sometimes even animation data, with the file stored either as readable text—showing recognizable keywords in a text editor—or as binary, which looks scrambled even though it holds the same 3D structures underneath.
