The skd file extension is associated with the VEX file format. The SKD 'VEX-file' format (VEX = 'VLBI Experiment'), has been invented to prescribe a complete description of a VLBI experiment, including scheduling, data-taking and correlation..
This includes all setup and configuration information, as well as the schedule of observations. VEX is designed to be independent of any particular VLBI data-acquisition system or correlator, and is expandable to accommodate new equipment, recording and correlation modes. Every attempt has been made to consider the requirements and concerns of both the astronomy and geodetic VLBI communities in the construction of the VEX format.

The SKD format belongs to Max Payne, a third-person action shooter developed by Remedy for Microsoft Windows and released in 2001. An SKD file contains data used by the game to load and render a 3D model.
SKD files are proprietary game-resource files rather than general-purpose 3D exchange files. They are intended to be used by Max Payne as part of the game's installed or modified content, and are not normally edited by players.
The format is associated with the original Windows release of Max Payne and is now primarily of interest for running or modifying this older game.
Max Payne for Microsoft Windows can open and use an SKD file when it is placed in the location expected by the game as part of its game or modification data.
There is no standard Windows application for viewing or editing this proprietary model format. Opening the file directly in a text editor or ordinary 3D viewer will not display the model correctly.
SKD files do not have a practical general-purpose conversion path. The format is proprietary to Max Payne, and standard 3D conversion programs do not generally support it.
For modding, a compatible Max Payne model-editing workflow is required to export or rebuild the model. Otherwise, the file should be kept in its original form for use by the game.
