Opening a FUSE File
The FUSE file type is primarily associated with Fuse.
What is a FUSE file
FUSE files mostly belong to Fuse by Adobe. FUSE is the native file format for files that store references to 2D and 3D graphics assets of a 3D human figure created using FUSE, a 3D modelling application developed by Adobe and commonly used to create characters for video games and animations. Assets that are referenced by the FUSE file include data about the character's pose, body, facial features, wardrobe, surface, and textures. FUSE uses these references to load and apply these assets when the FUSE file is opened.
