A X3D file with extension ".x3d" is a X3D file in XML encoding.

A X3D file with extension ".x3dv" is a X3D file in Classic VRML encoding.
http://www.web3d.org/x3d/specificat...gs-ClassicVRML/

Both files can hold the same information, the syntax is then the whole
difference.

E.g. if you have a .x3d file with something like (output of nist.gov translator)
in it

<X3D>
<Scene>
<Transform >
<Shape >
<Appearance >
<Material />
</Appearance>
<Sphere />
</Shape>
</Transform>
</Scene>
</X3D>

The matching .x3dv file would have something like

Transform
{
children
[
Shape
{
appearance Appearance
{
material Material
{
}
}
geometry Sphere
{
}
}
]
}

Conclusion: Same commands, written down differently

so loong
