What is an IVE file

IVE files mostly belong to OpenSceneGraph by OSG Community. Files with IVE file extension contain 3D models stored in OpenSceneGraph format; an open-source API for creating and visualizing 3D graphics in games, presentations, virtual reality, or animations. Contents of IVE files are stored as binary data and it can be converted to/from AVI, OBJ, MP4, or OBJ formats. The versions of Virtual Planet Builder software released in 2009 or later, use the IVE file extension to store databases containing high-resolution raster and elevation data. The data in such IVE databases are often generated from digital elevation maps and geospatial imagery.

How do you open IVE files?

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

IVE file format:

The file format, which is the arrangement and type of data in a file, determines which program can open the file. Often, the file format can be deduced from the file extension or the initial bytes (called the signature). Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. So you need a detailed analysis of a file to find out the format and the associated program. Our evaluation of the IVE files looks like this:

The IVE file type is used by a few programs, each with its own file format. The file formats most commonly found in IVE files are:

The remaining 10% of all IVE files are files with no common format, often, for example, XML. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your IVE file!
