What is a 3DR file?

3DR files mostly belong to 3DMark.

3DR files are used to store and transport specialized 3D data. The most common case is their use as a 3DMark benchmark result file, which is a ZIP-based container that holds performance data and system details from gaming and graphics tests. For this type, visit the 3DMark website for more technical details.

Other specific uses include:

• Texture Capture: Files produced by 3DReaperDX that hold captured texture data. More information can be found at the 3DRipperDX page.
• Laser Scanner Data: Files created by 3DReshaper (or associated with REALWORKS) that manage 3D laser scanned modeling data.

The file’s internal ZIP structure means that advanced users may extract its layers to reveal XML or binary segments containing additional metadata. Specialized software is required to correctly open, view, and analyze the results.

Basic handling notes:

• Use a ZIP extraction tool to inspect the contained data if needed.
• Always open the file with its dedicated application (e.g., 3DMark, 3DRipperDX, or 3DReshaper) to ensure proper rendering of the 3D data.
• Avoid renaming the extension, as the association with the correct reader might be lost.

How to open a 3DR file

You need a suitable software like 3DMark to open a 3DR 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 3DR file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a 3DR file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

3DR file format:

If you can determine the file format, the associated program can also be determined. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). However, different programs can use the same file extension. Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened. So you need a detailed analysis of a file to find out the format and the associated program. Our examination of the 3DR files comes to the following conclusion:

The 3DR file extension is rather rarely used and includes different formats for the applicable programs. The following file formats are most commonly found in 3DR files:

• 65% of all 3DR files use ZIP compression, multiple files are compressed and combined into one 3DR file. A 3DR file can contain up to 4 files (mostly 3 - 4). Customary file names are Default.enc, Handle.txt, Result.xml and SI.xml. If you'd like to see the images and files included, just rename the file extension to .zip and double-click. The files are often between 22 KB and 480 KB in size. The following keywords are characteristic: Result.xml and Handle. Such files are related to dmark, radeon, geforce, dmvantage, results, athlon, result and xeon.
• 25% of all 3DR files start with the bytes RD3 crucial for this file format. The content consists of illegible binary data, which can only be read and interpreted by the associated programs. The file size is in the range of 540 bytes to 23 MB. The files contain the following words: Textures, Users, 3DReaperDX and Documents. A common filename is frame_01.06.2020 10.30.3dr.

All other 3DR files (10%) have no uniform format. Files like these are sometimes linked to upgrade, second or after. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your 3DR file!
