What is a ZMBX file?

A ZMBX file is a Zip-compressed 3D scene exported by Mecabricks, a web app for designing scenes with LEGO bricks. It contains an .MBX file that stores information about a model, including its points, positions, and textures, and its scene. LEGO enthusiasts often create scenes with Mecabricks, export them as ZMBX files, and then import them into Blender to illustrate and animate them further.
