Yeh, Hi. I bought the 3d Gamemaker quite a while back and since then I was wondering if you could make your own 3d models and maps to go into it. And just place it into the folder.

However, if it's possible i need to know what software to use that can be exported in that format.

By the way, most "Objects" have these files:

A DAT file for the animation
A DAT file named "model"
A X File with lots of numbers in (i think this is to make it walk or run)
A DDS file called "slayer"
And a thumb image (don't need any help on how to create these lol)

Anyway, is it possible to make the files above and if so what software do i need?

i have no idea what DAT is, i'm guessing its specific to 3dgm

.x is the actual object/animation file, stores information about the faces.

dds is a texture format.

to make .x files, download blender
for dds, there's some tool i think to convert jpgs or bmps to dds, idk...

A DAT file is some file that games always use if you look in program folders and stuff but i have no idea what they do.

and sure u can convertwith blender and use paint to change the texture.

I don't want to change the texture. I wanted to know if there's a way ti create your own model from scrath, in other words is there any way to create the files above? Like a 3d modeller.

DAT files can contain anything you want, they're essentially data files. Some store player spawn positions, some store speaches AI's in a game will say, really anything depending on how you program your game. DAT files are not model files, but they may contain data on how to handle model files.
