The variety of 3D modelling files is too wide to make general statements about their preservation. X3D and U3D are durable file formats, but they are not suitable for all 3D models. You should therefore save the files in their original format with documentation about the original software, just like for 3D CAD. 3D models are often created to produce other documents, such as renders in 2D. The same recommendations apply for these documents as for image files. In some cases, a 3D model is not a file but an executable, such as for the models in Unity. In this case, make sure you document the system requirements for the executable. Documenting 3D scenes using snapshots or videos (e.g. screen captures) is another good option.
