A .v3s file extension indicates a Visual3D pipeline script. Once a pipeline has been created in the Pipeline Workshop it can be saved (Save Pipeline As…) for use later.

Visual3D saves .v3s files to the hard drive as an ASCII file which can be edited through the Visual3D interface or with any common word processing program such as Notepad++. When Visual3D loads a .v3s file it parses this ASCII file into the individual pipeline commands that are displayed in the pipeline dialog.

Many of the pages in this wiki contain pipelines or snippets of pipelines, with a note saying that the text can be copied and pasted into a file.
