What is a 3DG file?

3DG files mostly belong to 3D modeling software. The 3DG file extension is used for storing 3D models in game design and simulation. It holds data that defines object geometry and, in some cases, point cloud details.
  • Game Models: Many 3DG files are game models, as seen in titles like Test Drive Unlimited.
  • Geometry Data: Some files act as geometry formats used by applications such as 3D-Tool and SynthEyes.
  • Graphical Information: A few files contain point cloud data, a format used by 3D GameStudio.
  • These files are designed to work with 3D modeling software. You can open or convert them with tools like Blender, 3DS Max, or other 3D viewers. For more details on the 3D model format, visit the related page at 3D-Tool or see additional information on Conitec.
    FilExt.com note: Use a compatible 3D editor to inspect the model data and convert if necessary for your workflow.

    How to open 3DG files

    You need a suitable software like 3D modeling software to open a 3DG file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your 3DG file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a 3DG file directly in the browser:.
