What is a GMF file?

GMF files mostly belong to Leadwerks Engine by Leadwerks. Files with GMF filename extension are primarily associated with 3D graphics files. Leadwerks, a software development kit for video games stores 3D models, animation data, and motion data of game characters in GMF files which can be converted to other 3D formats such as OBJ before being exported. Apart from this, plain ASCII text files that are stored in GMF file format are commonly referred to as Geological Multi-Files (GMF) and they are used to create 3-dimensional visualizations of surface data stored within the files. A Geological Multi-File (GMF) consists of surface and sub-surface geological data used by GIS programs. The usual content of this kind of GMF files are labels of the different sections of the earth's surface, units of measurement, x, y, z coordinates of ground to surface models, and comments about the included data. Robot Arena: Design & Destroy, a PC game stores graphics in GMF files.

How to open GMF files

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

GMF format details:

Each file has a definite file format, that is, how the stored data is arranged in the file. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. 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. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our evaluation of the GMF files is as follows:

GMF is not that commonly used as a file extension. This file type is used by a few programs, each with its own file format. The two most common formats are as follows:

50% of all GMF files start with the magic bytes GM, which are always the first bytes of this file format. These are binary files, so they do not contain words or text. Most of these files are 650 bytes to 260 KB in size. The file type was developed 10 years ago and is still in use today. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as GMF2. Such GMF files store data about anpassungen and sftp.
10% of all GMF files use the same file format, which have the signature CMF. The content consists of illegible binary data, which can only be read and interpreted by the associated programs. A typical file size is 110 KB. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. Material.

The remaining 40% of all GMF files are files with no common format, such as Freelance Metafile. Just click the "Choose your .gmf file to view this image" button on this page to find out what your GMF file is.

How to solve problems with GMF files

Associate the GMF file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open 3d game models. Because only the current version supports the latest GMF file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the Leadwerks manufacturer website after an available Leadwerks Engine update.
To make sure that your GMF file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
